I'm currently diving into web development, but I'm struggling a bit with coding, especially algorithmic challenges and problem-solving techniques. I understand the basics of different algorithms like BFS, DFS, and Prim's algorithm, but I have a hard time breaking problems down into manageable parts and applying what I know effectively. I'd really appreciate any tips or strategies to help improve my problem-solving skills!

One of the best things you can do is practice coding problems regularly and check out other people's code. It sounds simple, but seeing how others tackle challenges can really expand your understanding! What I found was that when I read code, things clicked for me, but actually coding them myself felt much harder—totally get that struggle.
It's super helpful to read about specific problem-solving strategies. Some suggestions include clarifying what's known and what's unknown in the problem, and breaking it down into constants and variables. I recommend checking out a book called *Stop Guessing*—it really helped me out with my approach to coding challenges.
You should definitely check out *How to Design Programs*. It's available for free online and breaks down the design process into manageable steps, which might help you get a better grasp on tackling problems. It goes deep into how to approach coding challenges thoughtfully.
