The first "programming flow chart" written for drawing up "algorithms" for computer programs is known as "the first person to write programs for computers". In order to commemorate Ada augusta's great influence on modern computer and software engineering, the US Department of Defense named Ada, a high-level programming language that cost a lot of money and lasted for nearly 20 years. It is recognized as the main representative of the fourth generation computer language.
Basic introduction Chinese name: ada lovelace mbth: ada lovelace alias: Augusta Ada Byron nationality: British date of birth:18151210 date of death:1852165438+/kloc-. Industry: Mathematician, the first programmer graduate school: Main achievements of private education: the life, personal life, achievements, influence, related films and television of the founder of computer programs. The life span of a character is 1842. ada lovelace, known as the "digital queen", wrote the first computer program in history. 1834, Ada's friend, Charles Babbage, a British mathematician, inventor and mechanical engineer, invented an analytical machine. Ada is committed to writing algorithms for analyzers, and published the first set of algorithms in the world in 1843. Babbage analyzer was later regarded as the earliest computer prototype, and Ada's algorithm was regarded as the earliest computer program and software. 1852, Ada died of excessive blood loss in order to treat cervical cancer at the age of 36. Coincidentally, she and her father Byron died at the same age and bled to death during the treatment. She left two sons and a daughter-Anne Brandt. According to her last words, Ada was buried in St. Mary Magdalene's church in Hakeno, Nottingham, next to her father. Personal life Ida is the only child of her poet father Byron and her mother Anne Isabella milbank. Her name comes from Byron's half-sister Augusta Leigh. Countess Augusta Ada King's Lover According to the records of the University of California, San Diego, Ada was originally named Augusta Ada Byron, the daughter of the famous poet george gordon byron, and her parents divorced shortly after her birth. Her mother encouraged her to engage in mathematical research to avoid the "dangerous poet tendency" like her father. The marriage between Byron and Anne Bella is the product of Augusta's instigation to combine Byron and Anne Bella to avoid scandal. However, on June181June 65438+1October 16, Anne Bella left Byron with one-month-old Ada. On April 2 1 day of the same year, Byron signed a resignation agreement and left the UK. Ada has never met her half-sister, Ala Byron. Allah was born to Byron and Claire Clairmont, but she died in 1822 at the age of 5. As for Ada's other relative Elizabeth Mei Duo Leigh (daughter of Augusta Lee), she was photographed with her, and Ada's mother told Ada and Mei Duo about each other's life experiences. Ada lives with her mother. Her mother Anne Isabella was very interested in mathematics (her husband Byron called her a parallelogram princess), and mathematics occupied most of her life, even after marriage. However, Ada's mother Anne asked her to study mathematics when she was young, but it has always been thought that she was influenced by her father Byron. Ada's math and science courses were taught by tutors William Frand, William King and Anne: Mary Somerville, and later she was taught by augustus de morgan. Ada is also an active lady in London social circle. This lady was a member of the Blue Sox Association when she was young. 1835, Ada married william king (later promoted to the first Earl of Lefflers). They have always had three children: Byron (born on1May/February, 836), annabella (born on1September 22nd, 837) and Ralph Gordon (born on 65438+). After marriage, her title became Augusta Ada, the honorable Augusta Ada (Countess of lovelace), but it was simpler that ada lovelace and her maiden name was Ada Byron. Her teacher, Mary Somavi, was a famous scientist in19th century. 1833 was introduced to Charles Babbage by this scholar on June 5th. The famous Sir David Brewster, Charles Wheatstone, Charles Dickens and michael faraday all knew her. Achievements are between 1842 and 1843. Ada spent nine months translating the memo left by Italian mathematician Luigi Minabia in Babbage's latest computer design book (Introduction to Analytical Machines). In this translation, she attached a lot of notes and explained in detail the computer operation mode of Bernoulli number, which is considered to be the first computer program in the world; Therefore, Ada is also considered to be the first programmer in the world. Babbage left the following statement in his Biography of a Philosopher (1846): A replica of the analytical machine in the London Science Museum. "I think she added a lot of notes and some ideas to Minabia's memo. Although all these ideas were discussed by us, the idea finally written in the notes was really her own. I gave her a lot of algebraic operation problems, which are also related to the operation of Bernoulli numbers. In the document she sent back to me, I corrected my previous major mistakes in the program. " Ida's article created many new ideas that Babbage never mentioned. For example, Ada once predicted: "This machine can be used for typesetting, arranging music or various more complicated purposes in the future." On 1953, one hundred years after her death, Ada's previous notes about Charles Babbage's Introduction to Analytical Machines were republished, which was recognized as having a great influence on modern computer and software engineering. 1980 10 February 10, the U.S. Department of Defense made a new advanced computer programming language-ADA to commemorate ada lovelace. The holographic icon of Ada can also be found in Microsoft Wins products. The British Computer Society awards the Software Engineering Innovation Award named after Ada every year. PS: ADA is a general-purpose programming language with strong expressive ability, which was successfully developed by the US Department of Defense in order to overcome the crisis of software development in nearly 20 years. It is considered as the most successful representative of the fourth generation computer language. Different from other popular programming languages, it not only embodies many modern software development principles, but also puts these principles into practice. Therefore, the use of Ada language can greatly improve the clarity, reliability, effectiveness and maintainability of the software system. The appearance of Ada indicates that software engineering has successfully entered the national and international scope. In a sense, Ada also broke the shackles of "Von Newman's mindset" and formed a new school of Ada culture together with Ada's supporting environment (APSE). It is by far the most complex and complete software tool. Related film and television In the 203rd episode of Kakuro Animation-"Digital Pursuit", she appeared, and her voice was played by jane curtin. Ada is the protagonist in the novel Difference Engine written by Bruce Sterling and William Gibson. In the story, her new ideas accelerated the arrival of the computer age. In John Korol's novel Byron's Novel, Byron wrote his own story, but due to his death, the novel was not finished. Later, his daughter Ada added this story. Ada was the main character in the film "Born Ada" from 65438 to 0997. In Scott westerfield's "Dream at Midnight" series, one of the heroines worships Ada, which influenced the contents of three films in the series.
