Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proposal met patron. The result was ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer), built between 1943 and 1945-the first large-scale computer to run at electronic speed without being slowed by any mechanical parts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, ENIAC was the fastest computational device of its time, able to do 5, 000 additions per second, but because it had no internal storage, it had to be programmed manually for each new set of calculations.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ENIAC, or Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, could churn 5, 000 addition problems in one second, far faster than any device yet invented. In February 1946, J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly were about to unveil, for the first time, an electronic computer to the world.

Detailed explanation-4: -Presper Eckert are the scientists credited with the invention of the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC), the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, which was completed in 1946.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ENIAC: first general-purpose electronic computer. 1981.
