deductive vs inductive

Deductive reasoning is when you start out large and go to small. This means that you start with general open but truthful statements and combine the statements to form a truth, or formula. This conclusion must be accepted as truth, as truth and if it is not true, then it is not deductive logic.

The two truth statements are: 1) Penguins are black and white and 2) Some old TV shows are black and white. Both of those statements are true and using inductive logic the statement "Therefore, some penguins are old tv shows" can be seen as true though it is not.

Inductive reasoning is when you start with two statements that are both true and reach a conclusion. This type of reasoning does necessarily mean that the conclusion will be true.
