Read the Structure First – Build a Map

Before diving into the details, treat the code like a city map you need to
navigate.

Scan for imports: These tell you what outside tools the code depends on (import os,
import pandas as pd). If you see unfamiliar modules, look them up—sometimes the
whole logic is built on that library.

Locate functions and classes: Functions break the code into repeatable tasks, while
classes define “blueprints” for objects. Write them down as a list—like chapters in
a book.

Find the entry point: In many Python scripts, this is under

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

or simply the first few lines that get executed. This shows you where the story
begins.

Identify code regions: Top (imports and global vars), middle (functions/classes),
bottom (execution). This structure helps you not get lost.
