Why is an error in a computer program called a bug?

The term "bug" was coined by Grace Hopper, an early computer pioneer, in 1946. While she was working with a computer one day, she found a dead moth stuck inside it.


What phrase Grace Hopper coined?

There is a google article about her 107th birthday (Dec. 9, 2013) where it describes the "bug" that she found while they were testing the computer (Mark I Electromechanical Computing Machine). The anecdotal story is that the moth they found was a bug and that they debugged the machine.


When did grace hopper make her contribution?

Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906 - January 1, 1992) developed the first compiler for a computer programming language and is credited with popularizing the term "bug" and "debugging" for fixing computer. She was very productive throuought her life by her pioneering work was between 1967 to 1977, while served as the director of the Navy Programming Languages Group in the US Navy's Office of Information Systems Planning.


Who coined the term bug in relation to computer programming?

An unnamed technician working the night shift on the Harvard Mark II electromechanical computer. The machine had failed while working a problem sometime earlier and he had been troubleshooting it. He tracked the problem to a relay whose contacts would not close properly. When the relay was removed and replaced, a moth was found smashed to death in the old relay's contacts. When he made the entry in the logbook for that problem he referred to the moth as "the first computer bug" and taped the moth into the book to prove it.When Grace Murray Hopper came in on the day shift she read the log entry and thought it would be a great story to tell.

Term used to denote an error in computer programme?

A bug.The story may be apocryphal, but supposedly an early programmer, possibly Grace Hopper or one of the people involved with the ENIAC, was trying to figure out why their primitive computer was not working correctly. They traced the problem to a board that held dozens of electromechanical relays. After inspecting it for a while, they found that an insect had crawled between two contact points as was preventing a circuit from completing. When asked what the problem was, the programmer replied that they "had found a bug".
