How may I enhance my ability to understand codes just by reading it?

Question

I generally find it difficult to understand the codes untill and unless I try it on paper and that too takes much time. I'm an Computer Science student in NIT Delhi, 1st year.

Thank you King sir.

Answer 2

1. Write as much code as you can.
2. Read as much code as you can.
3. Try it out on paper as you are doing now. (That is a VERY GOOD habit)
4. Try to understand different types of algorithms. You don't have to know all of them, but have a good understanding on how they should work.
5. Don't get discouraged. It takes time and practice makes perfect.
