Can anyone explain inductive vs deductive reasoning to me.

822 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 is using what you know is true to know more things that are true. Deductive is using what you know is false to determine what must be true.
