reason out
Solve by logic
To reason out is to work through a problem or question by careful, logical thinking until you reach a conclusion: Let me reason out why the code isn't working.
The phrase emphasizes the process of deliberate analysis rather than intuition or guesswork.
You reason out solutions, explanations, or consequences step by step.
