Write a program that will search and find out the position where the given key element exist in a user chosen array and print it as output.

💻 Program Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{

  int a[30],n,i,key, FOUND=0;

  printf("\n How many numbers ");
  scanf("%d",&n);

  if(n>30)
  {
    printf("\n Too many Numbers");
    exit(0);
   }

  printf("\n Enter the array elements \n");

  for(i=0 ; i<n; i++)
    scanf("%d", &a[i]);

  printf("\n Enter the key to be searched \n");
  scanf("%d",&key);

  for(i=0 ; i<n; i++)
    if(a[i] == key)
    {
      printf("\n Found at %d",i);
      FOUND=1;
     }
  if(FOUND == 0)
    printf("\n NOT FOUND...");

  return 0;
 }

Master Programming Through Practical Examples

Improve your coding logic, problem-solving skills and programming confidence by practicing real-world examples with explanations.

🎯 How to learn from this example

First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.

🔥 Practice suggestion

Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
