What is Charles Babbage Analytical Engine?

The early nineteenth century is considered the golden age in the history of computers. English mathematician Charles Babbage felt the need to develop a mechanical counting machine when errors occurred in the tables made for calculation. Since these tables were hand-set, they were prone to error. Charles Babbage built a machine in 1822, whose expenses British.

were borne by the Government. That machine was named 'Difference Engine'. This machine had gears and shafts. And it used to run on steam.

After this, in 1833, Charles Babbage developed a developed form of Difference Engine - a powerful machine analytical engine. This machine was capable of doing many types of computing work. It was able to work as per the stored instructions on the Panchakads. It had the ability to store instructions and print results by automatically producing output.

Babbage contributed greatly to the development of the computer. Babbage's Analytical Engine became the basis of modern computers and this is the reason why Charles Babbage is called the Father of Computer Science.
