Can anyone explain inductive vs deductive reasoning to me.

790 views

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.

Inductive: the sun has risen every day prior to today. Therefore, the sun is going to rise this morning.

Deductive: all suns rise. We have a sun. Therefore our sun will rise.
