In which year did Babbage conceive the Analytical Engine?

  • A.1642
  • B.1837
  • C.1880
  • D.1850

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1837

Charles Babbage conceived the Analytical Engine in 1837. It anticipated nearly everything in a modern computer - a mill for arithmetic, a store for numbers, punched-card input, and conditional branching - but it was never built in his lifetime. His earlier Difference Engine dates from the 1820s.
