Not all of his machines were programmable.<p>When did he write a program for his Analytical Engine? Did he write the first program for it? Lovelace wrote a program for it while he was developing it, and people generally recognise her algorithm as being the first.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ada_Lovelace" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ada_Lovelace</a><p>&gt; Her notes on the engine include what is recognised as the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine. Because of this, she is often regarded as the first computer programmer.[1][2][3]<p>EDIT: Having checked your comment history I&#x27;m not surprised that you seek to minimise the woman&#x27;s contribution.
