1. An electronic device comprising:
a display; and
at least one processor configured to:
identify a first slope between a first handwriting input displayed on the display and a first preceding handwriting input preceding the first handwriting input, wherein the first handwriting input corresponds to a first block,
identify a second slope between a second handwriting input displayed on the display and a second preceding handwriting input preceding the second handwriting input, wherein the second handwriting input is a handwriting input continuous to the first handwriting input,
determine whether the second handwriting input corresponds to the first block or corresponds to a second block different from the first block, using the first slope and the second slope, and
perform at least one operation for processing a plurality of handwriting inputs indicating the second block, based on the second handwriting input corresponding to the second block.
