Python program to find an element from the array

Write the python program to find an element from the array.  In this Python Programming example, let’s see How to perform a linear search in Python or find the element from an array using a different method.

Algorithm

  • Take input from the user, declare a vacant list
  • Using loop to take input and append in list
  • Check the condition
  • Print the output

Python program to find an element from the array

a=int(input("enter size of array:"))
lst=[]
for i in range(a):
    b=int(input("enter element:"))
    lst.append(b)
print(lst)
c=int(input("enter the element to search:"))
for i in range(a):
    if lst[i]==c:
        print("element is",lst[i])
        print("at index",i)
        print("at position",i+1)
    

Explanation of the code

Step 1 taking input of size of the array

Step declaring the list to use further use

Step 3 for loop to run the same code for the given number of times

Step 4 take input of element

Step 5 appending the element into the list

Step 6 printing the list

Step 7 taking another input to check the element

Step 8 for loop to access the element again

Step 9 checking the element and the accessed element again

Step 10 printing the element

Step 11  printing the index of the element

Step 12 printing the position of the element

Output
