Flow Into Code

The best way to start coding

is not by coding.

problem restatement

Show you understand the problem by putting it in your own words.

inputs & outputs

Define the function signature and clarify data formats.

constraints

Identify limits and clarifying assumptions to guide your approach.

edge cases

Catch off-by-one, empty input, and boundary traps early.

clarifying questions

Clarify ambiguous or unclear aspects of the problem.

approach

Define a clear plan for solving the problem.

reasoning

Justify the correctness of your approach and the tradeoffs involved.

pseudocode

Shape the algorithm before syntax decisions take over.

solution code

Start with understanding and planning

for cleaner and more intentional code.
