Here is a sample program that I wrote using C# to demonstrate linear or sequential search. What does the program will do is to ask the user to give a number which represents an element and then our program will search the given number or element from a list of values stored in our one dimensional array if the given number is there or not.

My telephone number at home here in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental is (034) 4335675.
