PROGRAMMING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING LAB : Program 19

Write a C program that uses non recursive function to search for a Key value in a given List of integers using linear search method.


Algorithm:
1. 1. Start

2. 2. Read the value of n

3. 3. for i=1 to n increment in steps of 1
Read the value of ith element into array

4. 4. Read the element(x) to be searched

5. 5. search<--linear(a,n,x)

6. 6. if search equal to 0 goto step 7 otherwise goto step 8

7. 7. print unsuccessful search

8. 8. print successful search

9. 9. stop

PROGRAM:

#include <stdio.h>
long linear_search(long a[100], long, long); 
void main()
{
long array[100], search, i, n, position; 
//clrscr();
printf("\n Entered N values:\n"); 
scanf("%ld", &n);
printf("\n Entered %d numbers:\n", n); 
for (i= 0; i < n; i++)
scanf("%ld", &array[i]);
printf("\n Enter number to search: \n"); 
scanf("%ld", &search);
position = linear_search(array, n, search); 
if (position == -1)
printf("%ld isn't present in the array.\n", search); 
else
printf("%ld is present at location %ld.\n", search, position+1); 
//getch();
}
long linear_search(long a[100], long n, long find)
{
long i;
for (i = 0 ;i< n ; i++ )
{
if (a[i] == find) return i;
}
return -1;
}
OUTPUT:
Entered N values:
8
Entered 8 numbers:
45 32 18 43 56 75 71 69
Enter number to search: 
75
75 is present at location 6.

Learning and Development Interview Questions and answers for Mathematics-1.

  1). What is Mean, Mode and Median? Solution Answer: The mean is the average of a  collection of numbers or terms in a sequence. To calculate the mean use a formula is sum of total terms divided  by number of terms. The mode  is the most f requent number or term in a sequence. It means the number that occurred  highest number of times  in a sequence. To find the mode arrange the numbers in ascending or descending order and verify which number repeated most number of times in a sorted sequence. The median is the middle number/term where the sequence is arranged in ascending or descending order. If the sorted sequence have odd number of terms then  divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number.  If the  sorted sequence  have  even  number of terms then  divide by 2  to get the position of the median number.  2 ).
