Linear Search

Algorithm: Linear Search

Input: List of elements and element to search

Output: Index of search element in List

Steps:

1. Start.

7. Stop.

# Linear search

L = eval(input("Enter list of elements : "))

ele = eval(input("Enter element to search : "))

for x in range(0,len(L)):

if(L[x]==ele):

print("Element",ele,"found at position",(x+1))

break

else:

print("Search element",ele,"not present in given list")
