What is the correct historical and technical conclusion about the famous ‘bug’ incident associated with Grace Hopper?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The term ‘bug’ for a computer error was already in use; a real moth was recorded in the incident associated with Hopper

In 1947, a real moth was found in a relay of the Harvard Mark II computer and was attached to the logbook. However, the term ‘bug’ for a technical error was already in use before Hopper’s incident, so it is incorrect to say that Grace Hopper coined the word. Exam tip: remember the episode as the documented finding of a real moth, while ‘bug’ technically means a computer error.
