Jean Bartik was an influential American computer scientist known for her pioneering work in programming and early computing. She was one of the original programmers for the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), which was one of the first general-purpose electronic digital computers. Bartik and her colleagues faced significant challenges, such as the need to program the ENIAC using complex wiring and manual calculations before the development of high-level programming languages.
