                            Completely and clearly expressed without ambiguity or vagueness; fully developed. Example: Explicit instructions would leave no doubt in one's mind about what to do. Every part would be "spelled out."

                            expressly stated, leaving nothing merely implied; stated in detail.69 In research, explicit criteria are firm and based on scientific evidence (evidence-based without interpretation).
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            precisely and clearly expressed or readily observable; leaving nothing to implication; "explicit instructions"; "she made her wishes explicit"; "explicit sexual scenes" 
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Exactly what is expressed, nothing more or less. An explicit load is one that is specified as in the following example: load "man.bmp" ;here's the explicit load show "man.bmp",100,100 waitkey

                            Completely and clearly expressed without ambiguity or vagueness; fully developed. Example: Explicit instructions would leave no doubt in your mind about how you were to proceed. Every part would be ´spelled out.

                            Expressed with clarity and precision; clearly stated rather than implied. In phoneme and morpheme awareness, the explicit teaching of how speech sounds are produced motorically and the cultivation of the ability to compare speech-sound differences in words.
