Complete Binary Search Problems & Resources Guide
· 16 min read
Hey everyone! Binary Search is one of the most elegant and powerful techniques in DSA, yet it's often underestimated. I've spent considerable time mastering binary search for both tech interviews and competitive programming, and I wanted to share a complete guide that covers everything you need.
The key insight that changed everything for me: Binary Search isn't just about finding elements in sorted arrays. It's a problem-solving paradigm that applies whenever you can define a monotonic property (if something works for x, it works for all values greater/smaller than x). Once you understand this, you'll see binary search opportunities everywhere.
