How old was Ada Lovelace when she wrote the first computer program? Ada Lovelace discovered that a computer could follow a sequence of instructions—that is, a program. 12-year-old Ada, who is especially interested in mechanics, wants to invent a flying machine - unfortunately, with no success. But the love for machines is the foundation of Ada Lovelace's later friendship with mathematician Charles Babbage, whom she meets at a reception when she is 17.In 1843, Ada Lovelace became the first person to publish what we would now call a computer program, a set of instructions to calculate Bernoulli's Numbers, written for Charles Babbage's unbuilt Analytical Engine.
