She wrote an algorithm for the Analytical Engine that was the first of its kind, Because of her contribution, Lovelace is credited with creating the first computer programming language. As different-needs have arisen and new devices have been created, many more languages have followed. 1883: Algorithm for the Analytical Engine: Created by Ada Lovelace for Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers, it’s considered to be the first computer programming language.

The first was developed by Alick Glennie for the Mark 1 computer at the Uni’ Manchester in the U.K. Some consider autocode to be the first compiled computer programming meaning that it can be translated directly into machine code using a program called a language, compiler. anned by CamScanner
