Algorithm: Linear Search
Goal: Find whether a given element (key) is present in an array and, if so, return its position.
Steps:
Start
Input n
(number of elements in the array).
Input the array arr[0…n-1]
.
Input key
(element to be searched).
Set i = 0
.
Repeat whilei < n
:
If arr[i] == key
:
Print “Element found at position i” (or index i+1
if using 1-based position).
Stop.
Else: Increment i
by 1.
If loop ends without finding the element: Print “Element not found”.
Stop.
