C Program to Count the Occurrences of Elements in a Linked List without Recursion

This C Program, using iteration, finds the occurrence for an element in an unsorted list. The user enters the element need to be counted.

Here is the source code of the C program to find the number of occurrences of a given number in a list. The C Program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

$ gcc occurnumber.c -o occurnumber
$ a.out
Enter the size of the list: 10
Printing the list:
3    6    7    5    3    5    6    2    9    1   
Enter the key to find it's occurence: 3
3 occurs for 2 times.
