analytical engine was the first digital computer
Answers
False first computer was The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, or ENIAC, was created under the direction of John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert of Penn's Moore School of Electrical Engineering (now the School of Engineering and Applied Science).
Explanation:
The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage,with the assistance of Ada Lovelace. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's difference engine a design for a simpler mechanical computer.The Analytical Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete. In other words, the logical structure of the Analytical Engine was essentially the same as that which has dominated computer design in the electronic era.The Analytical Engine is one of the most successful achievements of Charles Babbage.
Babbage was never able to complete construction of any of his machines due to conflicts with his chief engineer and inadequate funding.It was not until 1941 that the first general-purpose computer, Z3, was built, more than a century after Babbage had proposed the pioneering Analytical Engine in 1837
