More appropriate would be something like this...

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    printf("RIP Dennis Ritchie, thank you for your contributions\n");
    return 0;
}

Hmm, well I never learned C, but rather NQC (Not Quite C).  It's designed to work with those old Mindstorms robots.  However, it's irrelevant, a great man has died.
