Question

I need help with this. Please, add your reasons
and arguments for your decisions.

Consider the searching problem:
(a1, a2,..., an) and a value v.
Input: A sequence of n numbers A =
Output: An index i such that v = A[i] or the special value NIL if v does not
appear in A.
Write pseudocode for linear search, which scans through the sequence, looking
for v. Using a loop invariant, prove that your algorithm is correct. Make sure that
your loop invariant fulfills the three necessary properties.
