Colossus used to perform and counting operations. Colossus is thus regarded as the world's first,, computer, although it was programmed by switches and plugs and not by a. Colossus was designed by research telephone engineer to solve a problem posed by mathematician at the (GC&CS).

's use of probability in cryptanalysis contributed to its design. It has sometimes been erroneously stated that Turing designed Colossus to aid the. Turing's machine that helped decode was the electromechanical, not Colossus. The prototype, Colossus Mark 1, was shown to be working in December 1943 and was operational at Bletchley Park by January 1944 according to some sources and certainly by 5 February 1944.
