Best Answer

Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper developed the COBOL (Common-Business Oriented Language) on the MARK I & MARK II Mainframe computers. A moth got into the electronics and caused the program to stop. The BUG was retrieved and pasted in the log book. Thus the terms: BUG (there's an error in the program) & DE-BUG( find the errors in a computer program).
