Day 25: Unveiling the Magic of Binary Search in depth with Java, C++, Python

DAY - 25

Today’s Learning :-

Exploring More About Binary Search :-
I recently dove into the concept of Binary Search, one of the most efficient searching algorithms in computer science. It's an essential skill for anyone preparing for coding interviews, particularly with big companies that value problem-solving skills and algorithmic thinking.

What is Binary Search?
Binary Search is a method used to find a specific value in a sorted array. By repeatedly dividing the search interval in half, it quickly locates the target value or determines its absence in the array. With a time complexity of O(log n), it's a highly efficient search strategy compared to linear search.

Interview Questions
Binary Search is a popular topic in coding rounds of technical interviews. Here are a few ways it can be asked:

Standard Binary Search: Find the index of a target value in a sorted array.

Variant Problems: Find the first/last occurrence of a target value, or the position to insert a new value while maintaining the sorted order.

Rotated Arrays: Search for a target in a rotated sorted array, adding complexity to the search.

Bounds and Constraints: Find the boundaries of a range of values or constraints within a sorted array.

Practice Questions

I've practised Binary Search questions to help me prepare for the Coding Round scenarios. Check them out in my GitHub Repository for related questions.
