FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) was the world’s first general-purpose computer. ENIAC was designed and built for the United States Army to calculate artillery firing tables. However, it was ENIAC’s power and general-purpose programmability that excited the public’s imagination.

Detailed explanation-2: -Built between 1943-1945 at the University of Pennsylvania by engineers John Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly, ENIAC was created to calculate artillery tables-the projectile trajectories of explosive shells-for the US Army Ballistics Research Laboratory.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army’s Ballistic Research Laboratory (which later became a part of the Army Research Laboratory), its first program was a study of the feasibility of the thermonuclear weapon.

Detailed explanation-4: -ENIAC, in full Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, the first programmable general-purpose electronic digital computer, built during World War II by the United States.
