C++ Program for Linear search


#include <iostream.h>

int LinearSearch(int [], int, int);

int main()
{
const int NUMEL = 10;
int nums[NUMEL] = {5,10,22,32,45,67,73,98,99,101};
int item, location;


cout << "Enter the item you are searching for: ";
cin >> item;

location = LinearSearch(nums, NUMEL, item);

if (location > -1)
cout << "The item was found at index location " << location
<< endl;
else
cout << "The item was not found in the list\n";

return 0;
}

// this function returns the location of key in the list
// a -1 is returned if the value is not found
int LinearSearch(int list[], int size, int key)
{
int i;

for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
if (list[i] == key)
return i;
}

return -1;
}
