Charles Babbage
If an engine overheats the metal parts expand and the engine will seize up. A seized engine is usually unrepairable.
the Analytical Engine - an engine created by Ada Byron (the Lady Lovelace) and a person named Babbage - Ada suggested to Babbage writing a plan for how the engine might calculate Bernoulli numbers. This plan, is now regarded as the first "computer program." A software language developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was named "Ada" in her honor in 1979
No, "Hello world" is typically the first program assignment in introductory computer programming classes as it is trivial to write and almost useless.
In 1842, Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace, wrote an algorithm for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers. That engine was never completed so her algorithm was never tested. However, the Analytical Engine has since been recognised as an early model for a computer and her notes as a description of software. Whether her algorithm would have worked or not is impossible to tell, but she is nevertheless credited as being the first computer programmer.
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.

He wanted to build a mechanical computer. He designed it and called it the Analytical Engine. He never finished building it, though.
In 1837, Charles Babbage, a British professor of mathematics described his idea for the Analytical Engine, the first stored-program mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine was designed to be powered by a steam engine and was to use Punched Cards, which was used to program mechanical looms at the time
Charles Babbage first designed the Difference Engine. His second design was the Analytical Engine which was a programmable machine. Neither invention was actually built in his lifetime, but the Difference Engine was built to his plans in 1991in the Science Museum in London, England.
