C# Coding Interview
Binary Search?
Short answer: Follow on: int BinarySearch(int[] arr, int target)
Example code
{
int low = 0, high = arr.Length - 1; while (low <= high) {
int mid = low + (high - low) / 2;
if (arr[mid] == target)
return mid; else if (arr[mid] < target) low = mid + 1; else high = mid - 1;
}
return -1;
} Explanation: Standard binary search to find target’s index or -1 if not found.
Real-world example (ShopNest)
In coding rounds, state complexity aloud, write a clear ShopNest-flavored example (orders, carts), then handle edge cases (empty list, null, overflow).
Say this in the interview
- Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
- Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
- Trade-off — when you would not use it.
