What does "reverse engineering "mean?

Answer 1

It is a common industrial cheat. Basically one group of engineers get a product, from a competing company, and pick it apart to find out how it works. Like a computer component. Then they give instructions to another group of engineers. "We need you to build a component that can do this". They don´t get to see the component or any information on how it works. That way the finished component will not be a straight off bootleg of the original component. And there will be no lawsuits...

Answer 3

Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device or object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. It often involves taking something (e.g. a mechanical device, an electronic component, a software program) apart and analyzing its workings in detail, usually to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without copying anything from the original.

Answer 4

Reverse engineering is taking apart an object to see how it works in order to duplicate or enhance the object.

Answer 5

When a computer program chooses something at random, it's not truly random. The selection is made based on a complex equation.

Answer 6

Starting with a finished product and working out how to produce something which is functionally the same.

Answer 7

It basically means to take something apart, as in dismantle it to see how it was made (or engineered).

Hope that helps.

Answer 8

Starting with a finished product and reducing it to the component parts and processes

Answer 9

taking a product that is complete and engineering it backwards to figure out how it was built

Answer 10

backward
