A '''rewrite''' in [[computer programming]] is the act or result of re-implementing a large portion of existing functionality without re-use of its [[source code]] or [[writing inscription]]. When the rewrite is not using existing code at all, it is common to speak of a '''rewrite from scratch'''. When instead only parts are re-engineered, which have otherwise become complicated to handle or extend, then it is more precise to speak of [[code refactoring]].
