Walkthrough

A new Go source file is added to the Challenge 21 submissions directory containing three binary search implementations (iterative, recursive, and insertion position finder) along with a main harness demonstrating their usage on a sorted integer array.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Challenge 21 Binary Search Implementation
challenge-21/submissions/Johrespi/solution-template.go
Adds three exported functions: BinarySearch (iterative), BinarySearchRecursive (recursive with left/right bounds), and FindInsertPosition (insertion index calculator). Includes main() demo exercising all three on a sorted array. Error handling via -1 return for not-found cases.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~8 minutes

  • Standard algorithm implementations with straightforward logic
  • Single file addition with focused scope
  • No complex control flow or intricate edge cases evident
  • Verify algorithm correctness against standard binary search patterns
  • Confirm -1 return convention is consistently applied across all three functions

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
challenge-21/submissions/Johrespi/solution-template.go (3)

30-41: Consider fixing indentation inconsistencies.

The indentation appears inconsistent with a mix of spaces and tabs. Consider running gofmt or goimports to standardize formatting across the file.


52-57: Consider moving mid calculation after base case check.

The mid variable is calculated before checking the base case (left > right). While this doesn't cause incorrect behavior, it performs an unnecessary calculation when the recursion terminates.

Apply this diff to improve efficiency:

-	
-	mid := left + (right - left)/2
-	
 	if left > right{
 	    return -1
-	    
 	}
+	
+	mid := left + (right - left)/2

28-45: Consider adding nil/empty array validation.

The functions don't validate for nil arrays, which will cause a panic when accessing array elements. While empty arrays are handled correctly by the loop conditions, adding explicit validation would make the code more robust.

Example for BinarySearch:

 func BinarySearch(arr []int, target int) int {
+	if arr == nil || len(arr) == 0 {
+		return -1
+	}
 	low := 0
 	high := len(arr) - 1

Similar validation can be added to the other functions. However, if the challenge specification guarantees valid input, this may not be necessary.

Also applies to: 49-66, 70-86

7-24: LGTM! Clean demonstration harness.

The main function provides clear examples of all three binary search implementations with appropriate test cases.

// BinarySearch performs a standard binary search to find the target in the sorted array.
// Returns the index of the target if found, or -1 if not found.
func BinarySearch(arr []int, target int) int {

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Remove TODO comment.

The TODO comment should be removed as the function is now implemented.

Apply this diff:

-	// TODO: Implement this function

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In challenge-21/submissions/Johrespi/solution-template.go around line 29, remove
the remaining "// TODO: Implement this function" comment now that the function
is implemented; delete that line and ensure surrounding code formatting/newlines
remain correct so the file compiles.

// BinarySearchRecursive performs binary search using recursion.
// Returns the index of the target if found, or -1 if not found.
