Syllogism

Syllogism is a type of logical argument. It is a way of coming to a conclusion based on facts and making inferences.

Here's an example:

Suppose I say:
1. All cats are animals
2. All animals have four legs

From these two facts, I can make an inference (or a logical conclusion) that:
3. All cats have four legs.

In syllogism, we call 1 and 2 the premises, and 3 the conclusion. The conclusion is based on the two facts given in the premises.
