Proof by contradiction and contrapositive are somewhat similar.
There are, however, a couple of defining characteristics. Proof by
contradiction proves the proposition by assuming it is false, and
when solving the proof a contradiction arises, showing that the
proposition was indeed true. Proof by contrapositive takes the
proposition and assumes that if the outcome is false, so is the
proposition. I will provide an example of proof by contrapositive
