A program to search an element from a single dimensional array (LINEAR SEARCH)

C Programming Language 052

The following code shows how to write a program to search an element from a single dimensional array (LINEAR SEARCH).

Program

#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
    int array[100], search, c, number;
    printf("Enter the number of elements in array: ");
    scanf("%d", &number);

    printf("Enter %d numbers:\n", number);
    for (c = 0; c < number; c++)
    {
        scanf("%d", &array[c]);
    }

    printf("Enter the number to search: ");
    scanf("%d", &search);

    for (c = 0; c < number; c++)
    {
        if (array[c] == search)
        {
            printf("%d is present at location %d\n", search, c + 1);
            break;
        }
    }

    if (c == number)
    {
        printf("%d is not present in array\n", search);
    }

    printf("\n");
}

Result

Enter the number of elements in array: 4
Enter 4 numbers:
10
30
25
54
Enter the number to search: 30
30 is present at location 2
