Alan turning while working to decode Enigma code(German secret code) in Bletchley Park, came across Ada Lovelace’s first program. Alan Turing was able to connect with Ada’s idea even though they were from different periods. Alan turning brought Ada to the limelight, and the recognition we give to Ada is due to him.
