Who is often credited as the "father of the computer" and is known for his work on the Analytical Engine, an early mechanical general-purpose computer design?

• Alan Turing
• Charles Babbage
• Steve Jobs
• Bill Gates

Ada Lovelace, often recognized as the world's first computer programmer, made significant contributions in the early 19th century. She is known for...

• Her work on the Analytical Engine alongside Charles Babbage.

• Describing the loop and subroutine.

• She invented the first computer.
• She was the first person using a programming language capable of interpreting Babbage's ideas.

• She invented the first algorythm for a supercomputer, using punched cards.

Why is Alan Turing's contribution to computer science considered important, particularly during World War II?

• Because he invented and set the basis for the smartphone.

• Because he played a crucial role in breaking the German Enigma code, which significantly contributed to the Allied victory.

• Because he was a very smart man, but he wasn't friendly, so he was perfect for war.

• Because he wrote the first computer programming language, also he created the the first computer using Artificial Intelligence.
