Deductive = discover a finished result, conslusion, thing and deduce how it happened, came about to be this way. Study design of sometyhing in intricacy. Deduction = analysis of a thought or thing.
Inductive = take raw materials and induce how they will gety assembled into a ready idea, thing, or thought. Induction = synthesis of a thought, or thing.

"Reasoning" is when you have something and from this work out something else.
Deductive is when you have a rule and apply it to an instance. All politicians are corrupt, therefore this one is corrupt.
Inductive reasoning is when you have some knowledge about an instance, or multiple instances and maybe some rules, then from this you draw conclusions about things in general, or at least a more general class.
Sorry, I can only think of maths examples.
This is often used to prove the sums of arithmetic series in maths.
If an assertion is true for the number 2 and if you can show that if it is true for (n) then it is also true for (n+1) the it is true for all integers above 2.
