Deductive reasoning works from more general to more specific. The bottom line is that one will start with a theory, work to a hypothesis, make an observation, then a confirmation. ( Theory --> Hypothesis --> Observation --> Confirmation)
Inductive reasoning works the opposite way. One will make an observation, find a pattern, form a tentative hypothesis, then come up with a theory. (Observation --> Pattern --> Hypothesis --> Theory)
