    An analog computer basically performs its calculations based on the input current, voltages, phase differences etc. and these calculations are not correct always. There may be some deflection from the true value or there may be some deflection in the value you are expecting. Like, let us assume that we buy a water bottle of quantity 2 liters, then there is a possibility that the quantity is 1.2 liters or 9.9 (but not exact)

    Whereas, the digital computers are more precise, which performs calculations based on the input binary data. And, we get an exact value. Of course, the logical connections must be correct for that.

    Analog computers are seldom common they use inputs which differ with time to process data. This makes it very hard for processing and so it became very unpopular.

    Digital computers use data in the form of 0 and 1 to process. Here an additional ADC circuit is used to convert the analog data into digital data and then process it. This is easier for real world applications as input possibilities are only to 0 or 1. That makes your design of processor simple

    Hope I did not confuse you too much
