Inductive reasoning uses information or events that happened in the past to see what's in store for the future. Deductive Reasoning Deductive reasoning is general information that people have and use to reach some kind of conclusion. Deduction is done by understanding the first part which uses logic to reach a conclusion, while reasoning is used to understand what is happening.
