IELTS Grammar: mixed conditional

Yesterday I asked you to look at the sentence below.

  • There would be no computer programmers if the computer hadn't been invented.

This sentence contains a mixed conditional: would + infinitive (2nd conditional) with if + past perfect (3rd conditional).

Notice that I'm imagining the present result of an imagined event in the past.
