how did Alan Turing’s first computer work?
In: 4
What computer?
Allan Turing did create the Turing machine but it is a mathematical model of computation that defines an abstract machine, not a real physical matching. It “worked” by following the rules that were in his paper.
He was a part of the team behind Bombe but it is not a general-purpose computer, but a specialized electromechanical machine to break the Enigma encryption. He was later involved in software development for the Manchester Mark 1.
