Charles Babbage
An analytical engine is a mechanical general-purpose computer which was designed and envisaged by Charles Babbage, but never built.
Charles Babbage. It was designed as a general purpose programmable computer, mostly to be used to compute tables for navigation and mathematics.
Sorry, it wasn't. It was designed but has never been built.
He designed the Analytical Engine in the 1830s, but never built it.

The Difference Engine and Analytical Engine were developed by the British mathematician and inventor Charles Babbage. The Difference Engine, designed to compute polynomial functions, was conceived in the early 1820s, while the more advanced Analytical Engine, which featured concepts of programmability and data storage, was designed in the 1830s. Although neither machine was completed during Babbage's lifetime, his ideas laid the groundwork for modern computing.

He wanted to build a mechanical computer. He designed it and called it the Analytical Engine. He never finished building it, though.
The Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine were invented by Charles Babbage, an English mathematician and inventor. The Difference Engine, designed in the early 1820s, aimed to automate the calculation of polynomial functions, while the Analytical Engine, proposed in the 1830s, was a more advanced design capable of performing any calculation and is considered a precursor to modern computers. Babbage's work laid the foundation for computing, although neither engine was completed during his lifetime.
