Step-by-Step Explanation
-
Declare the array and variables
-
The array
Numbersstores 5 integers. -
SearchItemstores the value the user wants to find. -
Foundis a Boolean variable to track if the item is found or not.
-
-
Input phase
-
The program takes 5 numbers as input and stores them in the array.
-
-
Search input
-
The user enters the number to search.
-
-
Initialize search condition
-
Found ← FALSEassumes the number is not found initially.
-
-
Perform linear search
-
The program goes through each element in the array.
-
If a match is found,
Foundbecomes TRUE, and the position is displayed.
-
-
Final output
-
If the number wasn’t found after checking all elements, the program displays “Item not found in the list.”
