FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Analytical Engine, generally considered the first computer, designed and partly built by the English inventor Charles Babbage in the 19th century (he worked on it until his death in 1871).

Detailed explanation-2: -The Analytical Engine With the construction project stalled, and freed from the nuts and bolts of detailed construction, Babbage conceived, in 1834, a more ambitious machine, later called Analytical Engine, a general-purpose programmable computing engine.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1821 Babbage invented the Difference Engine to compile mathematical tables. On completing it in 1832, he conceived the idea of a better machine that could perform not just one mathematical task but any kind of calculation.

Detailed explanation-4: -An early digital system using variables with ten discrete values was Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine. Babbage labored from 1834 to 1871, designing and attempting to build this mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine used gears with ten positions labeled 0 through 9, much like a mechanical odometer in a car.
