Logic is a formal science that evaluates arguments. Good arguments are those in which premises really do support the conclusion. The argument can be valid or invalid. Logic doesn’t assign truth values. Correct thought.

The simplest argument is a statement set (one or more premises and exactly one conclusion). Where the premises (or evidence) provide support for the conclusion.
$Premises \\implies Conclusion$.
An inference is the reasoning process expressed by an argument.
Example
The premises set forth reasons or evidence. By elimination, if it is not a conclusion then is a premise.
The conclusion is the statement that the premises are claimed to support.
The reader asks questions about arguments that contain no indicators.
By logical principles, the conclusion is listed after the premises.
<aside> 💡 Some people sum up their work and they called “the conclusion”; it's a mistake. A conclusion follows from the premises but it doesn't summarize them.
