Analog electronic computers were valuable for solving problems with continuous variables until digital processing advanced. </p><p>As semiconductor technology developed, many of the functions of analog circuits were taken over by digital circuits, and modern circuits that are entirely analog are less common; their functions being replaced by hybrid approach which, for instance, uses analog circuits at the <i>front end</i> of a device receiving an analog signal, and then use digital processing using <a href="/wiki/Microprocessor" title="Microprocessor">microprocessor</a> techniques thereafter. </p><p>Sometimes it may be difficult to classify some circuits that have elements of both linear and non-linear operation.
