Hello Everyone, I am new in this community and I am a graduate of B.tech in computer science and I am preparing myself to get a job in the IT industry. So I am covering basic programming questions and I am confused in the binary search working cycle. As my research, it is best applied to a list in which all the elements are already sorted. The binary search starts with searching in the middle of the list. Can anyone know is it the right information or can anyone know the best scenario for using a binary search? I am learning this list right now - https://hackr.io/blog/programming-interview-questions

Hello!
Agree with the 1st answer, given that this Q&A is targetted to people who want to get into consulting, probably is not the best forum for you...
Good luck in the prep!

Hello Ankit,
Unless there won't be a data scientist consultant that reads your question, it's really unlikely that you can fin an answer to this on Preplounge :)
Best,
