Logical Fallacies Part 1: Formal and Informal Fallacies

In learning about logic, we've come to understand how an argument involves two or more premises followed by a conclusion. When the conclusion does not follow from the premises, this is an invalid argument. In such a case, a logical fallacy has been committed. This can be the case due to a faulty coherence between the premises or from external factors, but either way it just means bad reasoning. What are formal fallacies vs. informal fallacies? Let's get a better understanding of this concept.
