Edsger Dijkstra

Edsger Dijkstra, a Dutch computer scientist, made significant contributions to computer programming languages and the development of algorithms.

He introduced the shortest-path algorithm, known as Dijkstra’s algorithm, and emphasized the importance of data abstraction and structured programming.

As a recipient of the Turing Award, his work has influenced the way computer scientists think about programming and problem-solving.
