Logic (from the Ancient Greek: λογική, logike) is the use and study of valid reasoning.

The study of logic features most prominently in the subjects of philosophy, mathematics, and computer science.

In the West, logic was established as a formal discipline by Aristotle, who gave it a fundamental place in philosophy.

Logic is often divided into three parts, Inductive reasoning, Abductive reasoning, and Deductive reasoning.
