He invented a programable general purpose mechanical digital computer that he called the Analytical Engine in the late 1840s. However he could never get funding for it from parliament and was still arguing with his machinist over unpaid bills and specifications on his earlier never finished Difference Engine machine.

Analytical Engine
What are some of Charles Babbage goals he achieve?
Though Charles Babbage achieved many things. But Charles Babbage Does not achieve his all goals. Without completing his Difference Engine he went to Analytical Engine. He designed the first programmable machine , the analytical engine. Though he did not complete it fully due to lack of resources and money. But he was right in theory. After some the Analytical engine was finished by some computer scientists and Charles Babbage was credited the "Father of Computers"..
