Detailed explanation-1: -Analog computers were the earliest computer machines developed. These were also among the most complicated machines for analog computation and process control. Analog data is not discrete, but rather is of a continuous nature. It is an important fact that analog computer uses continuous values and not discrete values.
Detailed explanation-2: -Analog computer: Analog computer is special purpose computers which are designed to measure the continuous physical values such as speed, pressure, etc. E.g. speedometer, thermometer etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -Analog computers began to be built at the start of the 20th century. Early models calculated by means of rotating shafts and gears. Numerical approximations of equations too difficult to solve in any other way were evaluated with such machines.
