linear search using c language | CTechnotips

1. Write a simple code for linear search in c programming language

2. Wap a c program to search an element in an array using linear search

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

    int a[10],i,n,m,c=0;

    printf("Enter the size of an array: ");

    scanf("%d",&n);

    printf("Enter the elements of the array: ");

    for(i=0;i<=n-1;i++){

         scanf("%d",&a[i]);

    }

    printf("Enter the number to be search: ");

    scanf("%d",&m);

    for(i=0;i<=n-1;i++){

         if(a[i]==m){

             c=1;

             break;

         }

    }

    if(c==0)

         printf("The number is not in the list");

    else

         printf("The number is found");

    return 0;

}

Sample output:

Enter the size of an array: 5

Enter the elements of the array: 4 6 8 0 3

Enter the number to be search: 0

The number is found
