Coding logic and problem-solving. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced programmer, this blog can give you an idea of how to improve coding logic and solve problems more efficiently.
What exactly is Coding Logic?
Coding logic is the process of designing and writing a program. The coding logic teaches us how to solve problems, ensuring that all variables are assigned values, or constants, and how to use them as well as which pieces of code are unnecessary.
Why is logic building considered tough?
When solving a problem, there are many ways to approach it and get to the desired solution. But many people get stuck finding an optimal approach and oftentimes give up. In this blog, let's discuss about some practical ways to solve a problem and build your coding logic.
Ways to build logic -
1. Divide the problem in smaller chunks :
When eating a meal, we don't consume the whole roti at once do we? instead, take pieces one-by-one and finish the whole! Why not apply the same thing in coding? take up a problem, analyze what you want to achieve and don't rush to coding, search for smaller problems and try to solve them first.
2. Reading other people's solutions :
Now this may sound a bit tricky to some, but reading codes and different approaches taken by people to solve a problem can actually enhance your mindset and alter the way you think about a problem. I am not telling you to directly jump to the solution, but even if you solve the problem, don't just jump to another one instead, look for ways to solve the problem other than yours!
3. Using pen and paper :
This is the most underrated way of solving a problem, writing down the solution before coding can help you visualize the solution and get better understanding of the problem. Write down your approach, make a flowchart, and then start solving the problem using step 1.
4. Solve fresh problems daily :
If you are stuck on a problem from past few days and can't figure it out, the best thing to do now would be moving on :p, check the solution of the previous one, understand it thoroughly and then move on to the next problem. This will declutter your mind and make some space for new thoughts.
5. Do not take on the boss-level first :
Last but not the least, when we play a game, do we directly fight the boss? No! right? So why take on difficult problems from start, instead spend some time solving the easy and medium difficulty problems first and once you get confident, start taking on the hard problems.
These were some ways you could improve your coding logic! Do share this with those who want to do the same.
