/**
* Algorithm for Linear Search :
* ---------------------------
* 1. Start
* 2. Construct a single-dimensional array of appropriate size.
* 3. Fill the array with data entries.
* 4. Ask the user for the number to be searched
* 5. Use linear search technique.
* 6. Print a message whether the number is present in the array or
not.
* 7. End

/*
Enter the size of the array : 5
Enter 5 elements :
46
324
846
54
541
Choose Search Technique :
1 : Linear Search
2 : Binary Search (the array should be sorted in ascending order)
Your Choice : 1
Enter the number to be searched : 54
54 is in location 3
