Write a program to implement linear search for char data in 1D array. Use pointer to array for the program

Expert Solution
Program

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int search(char *str, char c)
{
    int i=0;
    while(*str != '\0')
    {
        if(*str == c)
        {
            return i;
        }
        i++;
        str++;
    }
    return -1;
}

 


int main() {
 char s[] = "HelloThere";
 char* r=s;
 char ch='w';
 int index=search(r,ch);
 if(index==-1)
 {
     cout<<r;
     cout<<" doesn't contain character ";
     cout<< ch << endl;
 }
 else
 {
     cout<<r;
     cout<<" contains character ";
     cout<<ch;
     cout<<" at index ";
     cout<<index <<endl;
 }
