How can a computer virus reproduce itself?

Asked by LostInParadise (31916points) July 30th, 2011

Along with messing up a person’s computer, a computer virus is able to make copies of itself to mess up other people’s computers. That means that a part of the program is able to reproduce the entire program. How is that possible?
