Daily Question # 268

Whose  logbook ?

268

Quoting  Yadhu ,

“Logbook  of  Grace  Hopper .

She  worked  on  Harvard’s  Mark  I (1944) and  Mark II (1945)  computers. One  day, noticing  that  the  computer  had  failed,  Hopper  and  her  colleagues  discovered  a  moth in  a  faulty  relay. The  insect  was  removed  and  fixed  to  the  page  of  a  logbook  as  the  “first  actual  bug  found” . The  words  “bug”  and  “debugging”  now  familiar  terms  in  computer  vocabulary , are  attributed  to  Hopper”

Cracked  by  Rithwik , Arun  AS , Johny  Walker , Debasish , Abhi , Anil  Raghavan , Nishanth  Raman , Jithin , Yadhu , Arun  Hiregange , Bobby  and  Ajay  Parasuraman . Half  credits  to  Kamal  Rathi .

    Grace hopper/first computer bug

  7. Nishanth Raman says:

    Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper

    Grace Hopper is incorrectly attributed to the coining of the term bug(computer bug). Operators at the Computation Laboratory traced an error in the Mark II(electromechanical computer) to a moth trapped in a relay, coining the term bug. This bug was carefully removed and taped to the log book September 9th 1945.

    Grace Hopper publicized the cause of a malfunction, thus being wrongly credited with the term ‘bug’
