Konrad Zuse built a series of computers called Z1, Z2 and Z3 in Germany during the late 1930s and early 1940s.

Work on the Atanasoff-Berry Computer was started in 1937 and finished in 1942. The Harvard Mark I was also finished in 1942. Of all these, only the ABC was electronic. The others were electromechanical.

Who invented ABC computer?

The Atanasoffâ??Berry computer was invented by the eponymous John Vincent Atanasoff. Built at Iowa State University between 1939-1942, the ABC was the first automatic electronic digital computer and debatably the first 'real' computer.

No, the first electronic digital computer was made in 1942. Its invention was about 1937.Electronic digital computers have been manufactured for sale since 1950.


What number system was the first computer built between 1939 and 1942?

Guessing you are referring to ABC, binary. 50 bit binary numbers If you meant instead the Harvard Mark I, decimal. 23 digit decimal numbers. Both computers were completed in 1942.


When was the automatic computer invented?

Charles Babbage invented one but never built it in the 1830s.John Vincent Atanasoff invented one in 1936 and built it by 1942.The modern computer was invented sometime between 1943 and 1945 on Project PX (the US Army project to build ENIAC), but nobody knows who was the inventor(s). A prototype was first built in Manchester, England in 1948.


Where was the computer first built?

In America. the first computer was invented in the US in 1969 at the Rowayton Library in Norwalk, CT ++ For general-purpose computers, but the first electronic, programmable computer, using the same principles as any now albeit by thermionic valves and relays rather than solid-state components, was the 'Colossus' machine built for cracking the German 'Enigma' codes in WW2.


What year did Dr. John V. Atanasoff conceive the idea of the Atanasoff Berry Computer?

Dr. John V. Atanasoff conceived the idea of the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) in 1937. He, along with his graduate student, Clifford Berry, developed the prototype between 1937 and 1942. The ABC is recognized as one of the first electronic digital computers, laying the groundwork for future computing innovations.


Who the first invented computer?

Charles Babbage in 1840s, but he never built it.First electronic computer built was Atanasoff-Berry Computer in 1942, but it wasn't programmable and was never patented.First programmable computer was Harvard Mark I, designed by Howard Aiken, built by IBM in 1942, but it wasn't electronic.First electronic programmable computer was ENIAC, designed by Eckert & Mauchly, built in 1945, but programming was cumbersome as it involved manually rewiring the connections between the 40 modules of the machine as well as setting manually roughly 1000 switches.First modern type electronic programmable computer that stored instructions and data in the same memory was the british EDSAC in 1948. Soon followed by the US EDVAC in 1949.Note: all above are digital computers, I am ignoring analog computers.


What was the name of the first computer processor?

ABC, finished in 1942. Built by John Vincent Atanasoff & Clifford Barry in Ames, IA.
