Data Structure Using C (313301) Practical No.3: Write a ‘C’ Program to Search a particular data from the given Array of Strings using the Linear Search Method
In C, a program using linear search can efficiently find specific data within an array of Strings by sequentially checking each element until the target is found or the end of the array is reached. This method is straightforward and suitable for small or unsorted arrays.
The linear search is one of the most elementary and basic search methods. The specifics of the linear search will be covered in this blog post, along with its implementation in the C programming language, syntax examples, and samples of the expected result.
