Deductive logic

Deductive logic reasoning, a conclusion makes on the behalf of some intact fact which show conclusion is true.

Example

• All man is mortal
• Rakesh is a man
• So rakesh is mortal

Deductive logic some time contra of inductive logic because it has strong fact which to mostly conclusion is true. Deductive logic tends to specific conclusion.

• Some parents are addicted to alcohol
