ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) was amongst the earliest electronic general-purpose
computers made. It was
Turing-complete, digital, and could solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.
Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate
artilleryfiring tables for the
United States Army's
Ballistic Research Laboratory, its first programs included a study of the feasibility of the
thermonuclear weapon.
