An analytical engine is a mechanical general-purpose computer which was designed and envisaged by Charles Babbage, but never built.
Though Charles Babbage achieved many things. But Charles Babbage Does not achieve his all goals. Without completing his Difference Engine he went to Analytical Engine. He designed the first programmable machine , the analytical engine. Though he did not complete it fully due to lack of resources and money. But he was right in theory. After some the Analytical engine was finished by some computer scientists and Charles Babbage was credited the "Father of Computers"..
None, in the 1830s he designed a mechanical decimal programmable general purpose digital computer called the Analytical Engine, but was never able to build the actual machine. There has been much speculation as to why he was not able to build the Analytical Engine (or either of the special purpose decimal digital computers called Difference Engines that he also designed). The primary reason they were not built appears to be lack of funding.
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.

features of analytical engine
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.
