Rest API - Pagination Patterns

Given this API call: /api/products?page=3&limit=5, which items will the server return if the dataset is ordered and zero-based indexed?

AItems 3 to 7

BItems 15 to 19

CItems 10 to 14

DItems 5 to 9

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate start index for page 3 with limit 5
Start index = (page - 1) * limit = (3 - 1) * 5 = 10.
Step 2: Determine item range
Items returned are from index 10 to 14 (5 items), but zero-based means items 10,11,12,13,14.
Final Answer:
Items 10 to 14 -> Option C
Quick Check:
Start = (3-1)*5=10, range 10-14 [OK]

Quick Trick: Start = (page-1)*limit, count = limit [OK]
