Question

Write a program to search for an element in
a given list of numbers and print its
location.
Example: if L = [1,45,67,101,33,11,3] and
user wants to search 55, the program
should print - Element not found. And if
user search 67, the program should display
Element found at position: 3.

Answer 1

The following codes are written in Python.

Souce code:

l = eval(input("Enter your list: "))

x = int(input("Enter the element you want to search for: "))

if x in l:

 print(x, "is in position", l.index(x), "in the list.")

else:

 print("Element not found.")

index() is a function that returns the index value of an element.

It's important to use an if-else condition here, in case the user inputs an element that is out of the list. If the if-else condition wasn't given, and the user inputs an element out of the list, the program would result in an error.
