Can anyone explain inductive vs deductive reasoning to me.

Almost every website that talks about it says, “Inductive reasoning is a bottom up” approach while “deductive is a top down approach”.
Can anyone explain to me the THE DIFFERENCE? What makes these two forms of reasoning so different? Examples are always appreciated as well.

Lawyers use deductive reasoning to give advice. They start with the rule then figure out whether something is legal or not.

Scientists use inductive reasoning. They use the evidence of the experiments to determine the underlying rules of the universe.
