Detailed explanation-1: -(In 1843 mathematician Ada Lovelace wrote in her notes for a translation of a French article about the Analytical Engine how the machine could be used to follow a program to calculate Bernoulli numbers. For this, she has been called the first computer programmer.)
Detailed explanation-2: -About a century before Konrad Zuse designed the first programmable computing machine, in the 1840s, Ada Lovelace wrote the first computer programme in the world.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1843 Babbage’s friend mathematician Ada Lovelace translated a French paper about the Analytical Engine and, in her own annotations, published how it could perform a sequence of calculations, the first computer program. The Analytical Engine, however, was never completed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most wealthy women of the 1800s did not study math and science. Ada Lovelace excelled at them-and became what some say is the world’s first computer programmer. Born in England on December 10, 1815, Ada was the daughter of the famous poet Lord George Byron and his wife, Lady Anne Byron.
Detailed explanation-5: -Lovelace did not invent an electric or mechanical calculator. Instead, what she did was help a man named Charles Babbage to develop an “Analytical Engine” that would make calculations mechanically. The machine was never finished, however, but Lovelace gained fame as the first computer programmer for her efforts.
