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: -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-3: -The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage’s difference engine, which was a design for a simpler mechanical calculator.
Detailed explanation-4: -7. Difference between Difference engine and Analytical engine. Analytical Engines can solve any set of calculations with the help of a processor, punch cards, and a bunch of codes. While the difference engine is a mechanical calculator that was designed to calculate polynomial functions.
Detailed explanation-5: -Difference Engine, an early calculating machine, verging on being the first computer, designed and partially built during the 1820s and ‘30s by Charles Babbage.
