C# Coding Interview
Find Majority Element (Boyer-Moore Voting?
Short answer: Algorithm) int MajorityElement(int[] nums)
Example code
{
int count = 0, candidate = 0;
foreach (var num in nums)
{
if (count == 0)
candidate = num;
count += (num == candidate) ? 1 : -1;
}
return candidate;
} Explanation: Maintain a candidate and count; majority element survives this cancellation.
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.
