C Program to Search an Element in an Array Using Pointer and Function | A pointer is a variable whose value is the address of another variable. A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. For example, the main is function and every program execution starts from the main function in C programming. Here, We develop a program to search element in an array using pointer & function in c.
#include<stdio.h>
void search(int *x, int *y);
int main()
{
int a[5], n, i;
int *pa, *pn;
pa = &a[0], pn = &n;
printf("Enter array element: ");
for (i=0;i<5;i++)
{
scanf("%d",pa+i);
}
printf("Enter element for search: ");
scanf("%d",pn);
search(&a[0],pn);
return 0;
}
void search (int *x, int *y)
{
int i, f=0;
for (i=0;i<5;i++)
{
if ( *(x+i) == *y)
{
f=1;
break;
}
else
continue;
}
if (f==1)
printf("Found.\n");
else
printf("Not found.\n");
}Output:-
Enter array element: 12
13
14
15
16
Enter element for search: 9
Not found.
Enter array element: 25
32
61
48
91
Enter element for search: 32
Found.
