The reverse engineering process allows researchers to understand both how a program works and also what aspects of the program contribute to its not working. • What are the advantages and disadvantages of using reverse engineering to discover the logics of a software program? Reverse engineering in software is reversing a program's machine code back into it's original source code. The advantages to using this technique is that one can repair certain bugs, see how a program operates, and improve

Lecture 1. Logic. Propositions. The rules of logic specify the precise meaning of mathematical statements. For instance, the rules give us the meaning of such statements as, “There exists an integer that is greater than 100 that is a power of 2”, and “For every integer n the sum of the positive integers not exceeding n is ”. Logic is the basis of all mathematical reasoning, and it has practical applications to the design of computing machines, to artificial intelligence, to computer programming, to programming

in terms of 0's and 1's. By expressing the numbers as 0's and 1's all you need is a register which has only has to process two options: on and off. But programming in bits is very slow and tedious: failing to get input the right bit in a code that consist of thousands of switches will cause the entire program to fail. Once more programming in machine language is very repetitious. When writing a program in macing language you would see that you reuse a lot of the same code over and over which

theory that may not even have any proof. Axiomatic This is a statement that could be accepted as the truth, or it could be an Idea, that cannot be proven; and sometimes it could be taken for granted. It could be a accepted rule, or principal, or logic Variables These are numbers that is likely to be different. It has mathematical value, but it has no fixed value. It can change at any time, and very unpredictable, yet you really can’t do anything like coding without variables. And it can’t start

In logic, a logical connective (also called a logical operator) is a symbol or word used to connect two or more sentences (of either a formal or a natural language) in a grammatically valid way, such that the sense of the compound sentence produced depends only on the original sentences. The most common logical connectives are binary connectives (also called dyadic connectives) which join two sentences which can be thought of as the function's operands. Also commonly, negation is considered to

C H A P T E R 12 Evaluate Your Argument on the Issue In this chapter you will learn how to identify and overcome errors in reasoning. This is a special step that applies only to issues because resolving issues involves finding the most reasonable belief. Two broad kinds of errors are examined—errors affecting the truth of your ideas and errors affecting the quality of your reasoning. A step-by-step approach to evaluate arguments is also included. ecause your main objective in addressing an

Introduction The newly appointed President Joseph Fowler of Centurion Cable TV Division has signed a contract with Northpark Media for selling the advertising inventory at highly discounted rates. All the Vice Presidents and Sales Director have serious reservations against this decision. This scenario has led to conflict of interest among the stakeholders. But everyone except Bennette has decided to remain silent while Bennette always speaks out what he believes is the right thing to do. He never

repetition is just repetition. Repetition does not make a statement the truth. But a statement, if repeated often enough, can come to be accepted as truth. This leads us to the question whether a lie can be accepted as truth. From the standpoint of logic, the number of times an incorrect fact is repeated is irrelevant. It is still false. But research has shown that a statement, even an incorrect fact, if repeated often enough, can be accepted as truth. This paper will examine several research studies

behaviors that humans consider intelligent ("Artificial Intelligence”, Herzfeld Noreen). The ability to create intelligent machines has intrigued humans since ancient times and today with the advent of the computer and 50 years of research into AI programming techniques, the dream of smart machines is becoming a reality (Nonlinear Science and Complexity, M. Marques). Researchers are creating systems which can mimic human thought, understand speech, beat the best human chess player, and countless other
