As programmer, creating algorithms is your job, start as soon as possible. This skill comes with experience, the more you practice, easier it gets.

Problem: I have no idea how to begin

Just like for any new problem, take a sample input and solve by hand with a sheet of paper and a pencil.
Start again with other samples, until you device a method to solve the problem.
Then try to improve the algorithm.

- Learn one or more analyze methods, E.W. Djikstra/N. Wirth Stepwize Refinement/top-Down method is a good start.
