HELLO,

My question is when was the ABC computer Invented I have found many
different timelines from 1939, 1940, 1941 and so on. Please let me know why
there are some many answers. I might be overlooking something. This question
has baffled me for a long time, and I am coming to this newsgroup hoping that
someone has any knowledge of this question.

world's first electronic-digital computer at Iowa State University between
1939 and 1942.

Thank You for reading my question and replying to it.
This is the answer to your question,(What exactky do you mean by an "ABC"
computer).

Dr. John V. Atanasoff and Cliford Berry designed and built the first
electronic digital computer.Their machine, the Atanasoff-Berry-Computer, or
ABC, provides the foundation for advances in electronic digital computers.
