Konrad Zuse was born in Berlin on 22 June 1910. [22] In 1912, his family moved to East Prussian Braunsberg (now Braniewo in Poland), where his father was a postal clerk.Zuse attended the Collegium Hosianum in Braunsberg, and in 1923, the family moved to Hoyerswerda, where he passed his Abitur in 1928, qualifying him to enter university.
Plankalkül (German pronunciation: [ˈplaːnkalkyːl]) is a programming language designed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse between 1942 and 1945. It was the first high-level programming language to be designed for a computer.
The Z1 was a motor-driven mechanical computer designed by German inventor Konrad Zuse from 1936 to 1937, which he built in his parents' home from 1936 to 1938. [1] [2] It was a binary, electrically driven, mechanical calculator, with limited programmability, reading instructions from punched celluloid film.
It is now in the Konrad Zuse Museum in Hünfeld, Germany. [47] [48] Memory was halved to 32 words. Power consumption is about 400 W, and weight is about 30 kilograms (66 lb). [49] In 2008, Horst Zuse started a reconstruction of the Z3 by himself. [50] It was presented in 2010 in the Konrad Zuse Museum in Hünfeld. [51] [52]
The Z4 was arguably the world's first commercial digital computer, and is the oldest surviving programmable computer. [1]: 1028 It was designed, and manufactured by early computer scientist Konrad Zuse's company Zuse Apparatebau, for an order placed by Henschel & Son, in 1942; though only partially assembled in Berlin, then completed in Göttingen in the Third Reich in April 1945, [2] but not ...
Konrad Zuse, designed the first high-level programming language, Plankalkül (which influenced ALGOL 58 [25]). Kristen Nygaard, pioneered object-oriented programming, co-invented Simula. Larry Wall, creator of the Perl programming language (see Perl and Raku). Martin Odersky, creator of Scala, and previously a contributor to the design of Java.
Calculating Space (German: Rechnender Raum) is Konrad Zuse's 1969 book on automata theory. He proposed that all processes in the universe are computational. [ 2 ] This view is known today as the simulation hypothesis , digital philosophy, digital physics or pancomputationalism . [ 3 ]
Schreyer also worked on technology to convert the radar signal into an audio signal which the pilot of a fighter aircraft might recognize. [citation needed] Konrad Zuse invented and built the so called Z-series of personal computers between 1936 and 1945. Zuse was a schoolmate and co-worker of Schreyer, who advised Zuse on relays.
