An example of inductive logic and an example of deductive logic


An example of inductive logic that I found is in the Quantum Physics For Dummies video and it is the example when the man shoots marbles through one slit onto a blackboard. When he shoots marbles through one rectangular-shaped slit onto the blackboard, he creates a pattern on the blackboard that is the same shape as the slit. An example of deductive logic is when he believes that when he shoots marbles through two slits onto the blackboard, it will create a pattern that is the same shape as the two slits, but it actually creates an interference pattern.
