Tony Hoare invented the Quicksort and QuickSelect algorithms.
Tony Hoare received the Turing Award and was knighted for his contributions to education and computer science.
Tony Hoare introduced the null reference in 1965.
In his 2009 QCon talk, Tony Hoare called the null reference his "billion-dollar mistake," estimating it had caused approximately one billion dollars in losses over the past 40 years.
The null reference was introduced while designing the reference type system for the object-oriented language ALGOL W.
