| | Definition: | | A computer that represents numbers and other data using discrete internal states, in contrast to the continuously varying quantities used in an analog computer. Some of the fundamental ideas behind the digital computer were proposed by Alan Turing between 1936 and 1938. The first electronic digital computer built was the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC, 1937-1942), closely followed by the ENIAC (1943-1946). |
