A digital computer uses binary data to solve problems usually via electrical current (pocket calculator).
An analog computer uses variable data to solve problems usually via mechanical means (slide rule).

analog- Measuring or representing data by means of one or more physical properties that can express any value along a continuous scale. For example, the position of the hands of a clock is an analog representation of time
digital- device that can read, write, or store information that is represented in numerical form. Representing or operating on data or information in numerical form. A digital clock uses a series of changing digits to represent time at discrete intervals, for example, every second. Modern computers rely on digital processing techniques, in which both data and the instructions for manipulating data are represented as binary numbers

An analog computer is a form of computer that uses electrical or mechanical phenomena to model the problem being solved, or more generally by using one kind of physical quantity to represent another. Modeling a real physical system in a computer is called simulation.

What the heck is an analog computer? And are you cheating on your homework, like all the other people doing this stuff on Answers? If you are, don't bother cheating. I won't give you an answer, since I don't know whether you actually are doing your homework or not.
