Deductive Reasoning: sometimes called deductive logic, is reasoning which constructs or evaluates deductive arguments. In logic, an argument is said to be deductive when the truth of the conclusion is purported to necessarily follow from or be a logical consequence of the truth of the premises and its corresponding conditional is a necessary truth. Deductive arguments are said to be valid or invalid, never true or false.
