Hey there! Today, I have something special to share with you — a compilation of 60 C# code snippets that I’ve found incredibly helpful in my own work.

In this article, we’re not just going to look at how these snippets solve everyday programming problems, but we’re also going to understand why they work the way they do. This is about building a deeper understanding, not just a quick copy-paste job.

These snippets are for you if you’ve been working with C# and have ever found yourself stuck on a problem, not sure how to tackle it efficiently. They’re also for you if you’re relatively new to C# and are trying to understand how to use the language more effectively.

Alright, enough talk. Let’s jump in and start exploring these code snippets together. I hope you find them as useful as I have.

Before we continue, in the provided examples I tried to add a touch of humour and list some of the use cases. Hopefully that’ll keep you entertained as well, as at least I, have always remembered the fun things easier :) Lets get started!

10 Complex All Type Snippets

1. Binary Search

public int BinarySearch(int[] arr, int target)
{
int left = 0;
int right = arr.Length - 1;
while (left <= right)
{
int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
if (arr[mid] == target)
return mid;
if (arr[mid] < target)
left = mid + 1;
else
right = mid - 1;
}
return -1;
}

Think of this code as the Sherlock Holmes of searching methods. You know, instead of wasting your time rummaging around looking for a particular item, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just cut to the chase? That’s precisely what Binary Search does — it saves your time (and sanity) by dividing and conquering!

Use Cases:

  • Searching for a specific user in a sorted list of users
  • Looking for a particular book in a sorted library database

2. Bubble Sort

public void BubbleSort(int[] arr)
{
int len = arr.Length;
for (int i = 0; i < len - 1; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < len - i - 1; j++)…
