How do apprach to an unknown problem to construct its solution? Especially when do you face any programming challenge.

Approching the unknown problem is never been an easy task in programming. First you need to debug the code where it is actually raising an issue. And after debug refering the issue in documentation gonna solve the issue 80% and in worst case if you cant find the issue in documentation you can still use google,stackover flow,chat gpt,phind to get the solution. Even if they wont help its always a good option to get to a working professional expert in same programming language to get help. But mostly you will find the solution in documentation itself.

Firstly i will understand the problem. 

Breaking the problem in parts to understand easily.

Then plan the solution part by part.

If i will face programming challenge then i will figure it out with help of internet or our teachers and will make a simple code to find the solution.

Then implement the solution and test the code of the soltuion.

If it is correct as the solution then optimize it and refine it as a solution .

Then document well as a solution

The best suggestion would be approaching a teacher/tutor at the beginner level. It gives you a proper foundation. At a later stage practicing different problem statements boosts our way of looking at the problem statement. Maths fundamentals also play some role. Use Google effectively after preliminary foundation. Patience is must to debug complex problems 

Approaching an unknown problem to construct its solution can not be easy particularly when the content/ the subject of the problem is unlnown. One way to approach them itself is not from the answer rather one can device a plan to know correctly what they ask for in the question or about what the question is about. Then, by using any mathematical comstruct to try to solve the problem to get the right or partially right answer.
