Binary Search
By Number_72, history, 2 years ago, In English

Hello everyone, I am a beginner coder who works hard to improve. Recently, I have noticed that I need to solve more binary search questions to improve. So I filtered the problemset with binary search and set the difficulty range to 1400-1500. But, most problems only use binary search algorithm to only improve the time complexity. Could anyone suggest a resource that I could use just to improve my binary search? Thank you for your interest.

I think the USACO Guide Binary Search section is a pretty good resource for improving at binary search.

      If you want to learn graph theory topics then I think these 2 playlists on YouTube are great. Playlist-1 Playlist-2

        Wow, this is great!!! Thank you very much! Superb playlist. I know Prim's and basic DFS and BFS but I have lots of gaps int terms of fundamentals and this will definitely help a lot.
