1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
identify a first slope between a first handwriting input displayed on the display and a preset number of first strokes 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 the preset number of second strokes including the first handwriting input preceding the second handwriting input, wherein the second handwriting input is a handwriting input continuous to the first handwriting input,
based on a difference in slope between the first slope and the second slope, determine whether the second handwriting input corresponds to the first block or corresponds to a second block different from the first block, 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.
