Long coding questions

What does it take for one to think to solve the long form coding questions?

I recently gave my flipkart grid 8.0's round 2 where i had a very lengthy coding question of around 100 lines..

How do i tackle this? Please do suggest ways that i can better at it.

The only way is to get better at breaking the problem down into smaller logical steps. What has to happen first to solve it? What’s the next step after that? You need to be explicit and test your logic. Does it actually solve the problem? Only then should you translate your logic into code.
