 Computer-related introductions in 1842

The year 1842 is significant in the history of computing primarily due to the work of Ada Lovelace, an English mathematician and writer, who is often considered one of the first computer programmers. In that year, she translated an article written by the Italian mathematician Luigi Federico Federico Federico (often referred to as F. G. F. L. F. C. L.) regarding Charles Babbage's proposed Analytical Engine, which was a general-purpose mechanical computer.
