How To Think Logically

This document discusses how to think logically when programming. It explains that logical thinking is essential for programmers to develop the logic for their programs. It provides three key points to remember when thinking logically: 1) Feel confident that you are more talented than computers since they cannot do anything without code, 2) Recall all programming concepts learned as developing logic uses available resources, and 3) Imagine yourself as a machine to think like one and understand how to provide it with instructions to solve problems.

How to think logically in programming to


develop logic

How to think logically?


This is the question in every beginners mind because Logical
thinking is essential for every programmer. The students, who
are into programming and learning it, should be capable to think
logically but basically most of the beginners suffer a lot to think
logical and improve logical thinking skills. In this post I will
explain you about how to think logically while programming in
order to develop logic for certain program.

What is logic?
Logic is a small code snippet or the part of a program which
consists of set of instructions to solve the given problem. Logic
of the program consists of the actual statements which are to be
executed by the computer in order to solve the problem. The
logic for solving a problem is developed using set of instructions
and embedded them in a program by following the rules of
writing a program.

How to think logically in Programming?


Every programmer should think logically in order to develop
logic for a program but the problem arises here is how to think
logically? So in order to think logically we should learn how
logic will work and how to develop logic for a program.
How to develop logic?
To develop logic for a program we should be capable of
thinking logically. Only a logical thinker can be capable of
developing logic for a program but most of the programmers
and beginners struggle a lot in order to improve their
logical thinking skills.

Points to remember while thinking logically


 Feel you are talented than computer (Which is the truth)
 Recall all programming concepts that you have learnt.

 Imagine yourself that you are the machine.

Feel you are talented than computer (Which is the truth)


Always feel that you are talented than computer. This will
increase your confidence level because computer cannot
understand anything unless we write a code for it. We will write
logic for a program to solve a particular problem using computer
so without our logic a computer cannot solve any problem. A
computer is in need of our logic to solve a particular problem.
The computer works only on the basis of the code we write to it.
This code is nothing but the logic for a program so what you say
now? We (the code developers) are talented? Or The Computer?

Recall all programming concepts that you have learnt.


Developing logic is nothing but using the available resources in
a particular way to find the solution for the problem. So it is
necessary for a programmer to learn all the programming
concepts and recall them while developing logic for a particular
problem. Developing logic for the code becomes easy only if we
have a good command over all the programming concepts
because concept is the king in logic development without
knowing the concepts, you cannot develop logic for any code.
So first learn the concepts in programming and recall all those
concepts while developing the code then you would become the
king of the programming world.

Imagine yourself that you are the machine.


For a while, forget that you are a human being and imagine that
you are a machine so as a feature of a machine that it can’t
understand anything on its own. If a machine can’t understand
anything, then we will give some instructions for the machine in
the form of program to follow them in order to solve a problem.
So by thinking in a machine oriented way, you can be capable to
write logic for a program which is used by the computer to solve
the problem. Machine oriented thinking is nothing but just forget
everything and imagine that you cannot able to think anything.
Just imagine that you are just like a MP3 player which
plays/resumes upon the instructions given to them. So if you
think that you are a MP3 player then you will move forward if
you receive an instruction to move forward. You pause for while
if you receive an instruction to turn pause. So by thinking in this
way you can have grasp over how a machine will work and how
to give instructions to a computer or a machine so that they are
made to understand the work to be done.
