What was Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine?

The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician Charles Babbage in the 19th century. It was a successor to his earlier design, the Difference Engine, and featured a design that included an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and memory, making it a true conceptual precursor to modern computers.
