Linear Search Algorithm in C

This document describes a linear search algorithm to search for an element in an array. It first takes user input for the size of the array and elements of the array. It then takes input for the item to search. It uses a for loop to iterate through each element of the array and compares it to the item. If a match is found, it prints the location. If no match is found after searching the whole array, it prints that the item does not exist.
