Explictly Simple, Implicitly Fun : Starting in Python
It is important not to run away from programming languages. Python is used in many forensic environments. Just because you can push a button to complete an extraction, does not mean you should leave your knowledge there. Let's discuss a basic feature of Python, variables and declarations. Explicit Typed Variables vs. Implicit Typed Variables There are notable differences between explicit typed variables and implicit type variables. First, variables can store different values. How the value is labeled determines whether they are explicit typed or implicit typed variables (Wig, 2014). Different programming languages can use either or both of these types of variables. For example, in Java, before a variable can be used, it must explicitly type what the value is going to be. Python does not require to state or type the variable. One only needs to implicitly or imply what the variable is. To clarify the difference, an example of a common variable is a string or text v...
