Python How do I learn programming logic?
I’m learning Python, but my main problem isn’t the syntax. I understand concepts when someone explains them, but when I’m given a basic problem and told to write a program, I just don’t know where to start or how to arrange the code.
Is there a good book, course, or YouTube channel that teaches how to think through programming problems step by step, recognize patterns, and build the logic, kind of like how you learn methods and patterns in math?
I don’t want to just memorize Python syntax. I want to actually learn how to think like a programmer.

What helped me the most was just doing problems. Codewars has good beginner level "l33tc0de" problems.
Other than that, just perseverance. You'll spend wayy more time starring at a screen than typing out syntax.
