Linear Search In C Programming

Introduction

• In this blog, I am going to explain how to find the linear search in C programming.
• It is used to find whether the given number is present in an array or not. If it has means then it can find the location of an array. 

Software Requirements

• Turbo C++ or C. 

Programming

#include < stdio.h >
int main()
{
    int array[100], search, c, n;
    printf("Enter the number of elements in array\n");
    scanf("%d", & n);
    printf("Enter %d integer(s)\n", n);
    for (c = 0; c < n; c++) scanf("%d", & array[c]);
    printf("Enter the number to search\n");
    scanf("%d", & search);
    for (c = 0; c < n; c++) {
        if (array[c] == search) {
            printf("%d is present at location %d.\n", search, c + 1);
            break;
        }
    }
    if (c == n) printf("%d is not present in array.\n", search);
    return 0;
}

Explanation

• It is very simple programming and the linear search is always known as Sequential search. With the help of programming, the linear search of an array can be found.
