Write programs of searching concepts || Search program

We will discuss the algorithms for searching programs. Three types of “searching” programs are given in this article. By understanding the logic and executing the program you will know the concepts of searching programming. You will get exposure to a search program in different styles.

Accept 10 numbers and the number to search(lookFor)

The output would be Found or Not Found.

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

int x[10],y,lookFor,Found;

y=0;

While(y<=9)

{

Printf(“Enter a number:”);

Scanf(“%d”,&x[y]);

y++;

}

Printf(“Enter the number to search: “);

Scanf(“%d”,&lookFor);

found=0;

While(y<=9)

{

if(lookFor == x[y])

{

found=1;

break;

}

y++;

}

if(found == 0)

{

Printf(“%d not found”,lookFor);

}

else

{

Printf(%d found”,lookFor);

}

return 0;

}

Output

Enter a number: 15

Enter a number: 8

Enter a number: 70

Enter a number: 43

Enter a number: 59

Enter a number: 44

Enter a number: 33

Enter a number: 25

Enter a number: 18

Enter the number to search: 2

2 not found


Enter a number: 15

Enter a number: 8

Enter a number: 70

Enter a number: 43

Enter a number: 59

Enter a number: 44

Enter a number: 33

Enter a number: 25

Enter a number: 18

Enter the number to search: 70

70 found

Explanation of Search program

The first while loop is to accept 10 numbers from the keyboard. Also, we have accepted the number to search from the keyboard in the next line in the “printf” statement. We can then traverse the array to search for the number stored in “lookFor” variable. if it matches with one of the numbers in the array that is x[y] then found equals 1. This means we are declaring 1 when it is true and 0 when false similar to the Prime number program. If found is 0 then the number is not found else found.

Accept 10 numbers and the number to search(lookFor)

The output would be Not Found or Found at index 7.

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

int x[10],y,lookFor,Found;

y=0;

While(y<=9)

{

Printf(“Enter a number:”);

Scanf(“%d”,&x[y]);

y++;

}

Printf(“Enter the number to search: “);

Scanf(“%d”,&lookFor);

found=0;

While(y<=9)

{

if(lookFor == x[y])

{

found=1;

break;

}

y++;

}

if(found == 0)

{

Printf(“%d not found”,lookFor);

}

else

{

Printf(%d found at index %d”,lookFor,y);

}

return 0;

}

Output

Enter a number: 15

Enter a number: 8

Enter a number: 70

Enter a number: 43

Enter a number: 59

Enter a number: 44

Enter a number: 33

Enter a number: 25

Enter a number: 18

Enter a number: 1

Enter the number to search: 2

2 not found


Enter a number: 15

Enter a number: 8

Enter a number: 70

Enter a number: 43

Enter a number: 59

Enter a number: 44

Enter a number: 33

Enter a number: 25

Enter a number: 18

Enter a number: 1

Enter the number to search: 25

25 found at index 7

Explanation of Search Program

The first while loop is to accept 10 numbers from the keyboard. Also, we have accepted the number to search from the keyboard in the next line in the “printf” statement. We can then traverse the array to search for the number stored in “lookFor” variable. if it matches with one of the numbers in the array that is x[y] then found equals 1. This means we are declaring 1 when it is true and 0 when false similar to the Prime number program. If found is 0 then the number is not found else found.

Everything is the same as the previous program except for the printing. The requirement is that the output would be Not Found or Found at index 7.

Accept 10 numbers and the number to search(lookFor)

The output: Count how many times the searched number is found

Algorithm:

count=0;

y=0;

While(y<=9)

{

if(lookFor==x[y])

{

count++;

}

y++;

}

Program on Search Program

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

int x[10],y,lookFor,count;

y=0;

While(y<=9)

{

Printf(“Enter a number:”);

Scanf(“%d”,&x[y]);

y++;

}

Printf(“Enter the number to search and count: “);

Scanf(“%d”,&lookFor);

count=0;

y=0;

While(y<=9)

{

if(lookFor==x[y])

{

count++;

}

y++;

}

Printf(“Searched for %d\n”,lookFor);

Printf(“The count is %d\n”,count);

}

return 0;

}

Enter a number: 15

Enter a number: 8

Enter a number: 70

Enter a number: 4

Enter a number: 59

Enter a number: 4

Enter a number: 33

Enter a number: 25

Enter a number: 18

Enter a number: 4

Enter the number to search: 4

Searched for 4

The count is 3

Explanation of Search Program

The first while loop is to accept 10 numbers from the keyboard. Also, we have accepted the number to search from the keyboard in the next line in the “printf” statement. We can then traverse the array to search for the number stored in “lookFor” variable.

The requirement is quite different in this program. When the number is found with the help of the count variable we are counting the number of times the searched number is found.
