as the title says. many people have told me that Ada Lovelace invented the first computer code. as far as i could find, she only invented some sort of calculation for Bernoulli (sorry for spelling) numbers.
seems to me like saying “i invented the cap to the water bottle, before the water bottle was invented”
did she do something else? am i missing something?
edit: ah! thank you everyone, i understand!!

In addition to what others have said, you actually don’t need a computer to run computer code. It’s very tedious (though no worse than what the early human Computers did for an occupation) but you can just work through the steps with pencil and paper.
