C Program to Implement Sequential and Binary Search on Same Array

This C program Implements Sequential and Binary Search on Same Array.

Here is the source code of the C program to display search result using Sequential search and Binary search. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.

sequential search
16 found at location 5.
Binary search
16 found at location 5.
