To obtain a verified conclusion, deductive reasoning employs supplied facts, premises, or established general laws. Inductive logic or reasoning, on the other hand, entails forming generalizations based on behavior seen in specific circumstances. Deductive arguments are either true or false. Inductive arguments are either true or false, but not necessarily both. A deductively proven argument may still be an inductive argument if the evidence used to prove it is derived from a limited sample of cases; thus, it can only be said that the argument is inductive, not deductive. Deductive arguments consist of two main parts: a conclusion and a reason. The reason must be capable of proving the conclusion. This reason should be as simple as possible because complex reasons make the argument difficult to verify or refute. For example, when using syllogisms as deductive arguments, the reason must be a categorical statement (a statement that can only be "yes" or "no") or a hypothetical statement (a statement that can only be "if...then..."). Inductive arguments usually also include two parts: a hypothesis and a conclusion. However, instead of looking at what needs to be proved, we look at what has been observed before. If there is a pattern to how things are related, then we can assume that this relationship will continue into the future, and make a generalization about all instances of that phenomenon.
