Write a method to search the value among all the elements inside the Array

Problem

Write a method to search the value among all the elements inside the Array.

Search – Sequence-Based

Use Case:- Sequential Search as we have no idea whether the data in the array is sorted.

Problem Analysis:-

• • Input: The method will take 2 parameters as input.
    • Integer Array
    • Value to be searched
  • Process:
    • Traversed through the array’s elements using for loop
      • Inside for loop: Match searchValue with each element in the Array
  • Output: Index Value if searchValue is found else return -1

Solution:-

Output:-

Analysis:-  Since all the elements are traversed  sequentially the Time complexity is O(n)

Code:-

public static int SearchSequenceBased(int[] intArray, int searchValue)
{
    for (int index = 0; index < intArray.Length; index++)
    {
        if (searchValue == intArray[index])
        {
            return index;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

public static void Main()
{
    int[] arr = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
    Console.WriteLine($"Searched Value found at index: { SearchSequenceBased(arr, 7) } ");
}
