1 Identify the problem

The first step to solving any coding problem is to clearly define what the problem is. What are you trying to achieve? What are the inputs and outputs? What are the constraints and assumptions? What are the errors or bugs you are getting? Write down the problem statement and the expected behavior of your code. This will help you narrow down the scope and focus on the essential parts of the problem.

Enhance visibility into your application’s execution by strategically placing logging statements throughout your code. This helps in tracking variable states and understanding the flow of execution, making it simpler to pinpoint where things deviate from expected behavior.

2 Simplify the problem

Once you have identified the problem, try to simplify it as much as possible. Can you break it down into smaller or easier subproblems? Can you use a simpler example or test case? Can you eliminate any unnecessary or irrelevant details? Simplifying the problem will help you reduce the complexity and see the core logic more clearly. It will also help you test your code more easily and find the source of the error.

3 Research the problem

Sometimes, you may not know how to approach a coding problem or use a certain tool or technique. That's when you need to do some research and learn from others. You can use online resources like documentation, tutorials, blogs, forums, or videos to find relevant information or examples. You can also ask for help from your peers, mentors, or online communities. Don't be afraid to admit that you don't know something and seek guidance. Researching the problem will help you expand your knowledge and discover new ways to solve it.

4 Experiment with the code

Another way to tackle a coding problem is to experiment with different solutions and see what works and what doesn't. You can use a code editor, a debugger, a REPL, or a code playground to write, run, and modify your code. You can also use comments, print statements, or breakpoints to track the flow and state of your code. Experimenting with the code will help you test your assumptions, find errors, and optimize your performance.

5 Take a break

Sometimes, the best thing you can do when you are stuck on a coding problem is to take a break and do something else. You can go for a walk, listen to music, meditate, or play a game. Taking a break will help you relax your mind, reduce stress, and refresh your perspective. It will also give you a chance to subconsciously process the problem and come up with new insights or ideas.

Avoid spending time in a standstill. If feasible, shift your focus to a different project temporarily. Frequently, taking a break allows your mind to reset from its current thought patterns, making it significantly easier to identify the issue upon your return.

6 Review and refactor

Once you have solved the coding problem, don't forget to review and refactor your code. Reviewing your code will help you check for accuracy, readability, and maintainability. You can use tools like code linters, formatters, or analyzers to improve your code quality and style. You can also use code reviews, feedback, or pair programming to get suggestions or opinions from others. Refactoring your code will help you improve your design, structure, and efficiency. You can use techniques like renaming, extracting, simplifying, or reorganizing to make your code more clean and concise.

It is very helpful to present your code and the problem to others (or rubber ducks). In a lot of cases you will find the solution or new ways for solving during presenting.
