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.

Deductive reasoning uses the rules of logic to prove things are true. Math is a form of deductive reasoning.
Inductive reasoning is when you use samples of cases and expect the rule to always be true even though you can’t look at every case.
Deductive: Shapes with just three sides are triangles, this shape has three sides therefor its a triangle.
Inductive: The people I know like cheese, if I put cheese on this hamburger, people will like it.
