#Day5-Linear Search

Task: Linear Search
Note: This code can be done using the in-built command. But for the challenge I am trying to avoid those.

a=[1,2,3,1,1,2,3,4,5,1]
 In the above vector, we have to find the first occurrence of the given number x

For Example:
If x=3.
Then the code has to return 3 because the index of x=3 is 3 [First Occurrence]
If x=1
Then the code has to return 1 because the index of x=1 is 1[First Occurrence]
If x=4
Then the code has to return 8 because the index of x=4 is 8[First Occurrence]


Matlab Code:

function loc=lin_search(in_vect,x)

[m,n]=size(in_vect);

loc=-1;

for i=1:1:n

    if (x==in_vect(i))&& (loc==-1)

        loc=i;

       

    end

   

end

   

end

Sample Input and Output

loc=lin_search(a,3)

loc =

     3

 loc=lin_search(a,1)

loc =

     1

 loc=lin_search(a,4)

loc =

     8
