Sequential Search

This document describes a sequential search algorithm to search for a value in an array. It defines a function to read user input into an array, a search function that iterates through the array using an index and returns the location of the matched value or size if not found, and a main function that calls the read and search functions to search an array for a user-input value and output the result.

Sequential search - searching for a certain value in an array

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

const int size=5;

void readArray(int arr[],int size)


{
for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
{
cout<<"Enter a value to place in the array: ";
cin>>arr[i];
}
}

int search(int arr[],int value)


{
int i=0;
bool found=false;

while(!found&&i<size)
{
if (arr[i]==value)
found=true;
else
++i;
}
return i;
}

int main()
{
int x;
int arr[size];
readArray(arr,size);
cout<<"Enter a value to search for in the array: ";
cin>>x;
int loc=search(arr,x);
if(loc>=0&&loc<size)
cout<<"Found at location "<<loc+1;
else
cout<<"Not found";
cout<<endl;
system ("pause");
return 0; }
