Java Program to Search Key Elements in an Array

This is a Java Program to Search Key Elements in an Array.

Enter the size of array and then enter all the elements of that array. Now enter the element you want to search for. With the help of for loop we can find out the location of the element easily.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Search Key Elements in an Array. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.

  1. import java.util.Scanner;
  2. public class Search_Element
  3. {
  4.     public static void main(String[] args) 
  5.     {
  6.         int n, x, flag = 0, i = 0;
  7.         Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
  8.         System.out.print("Enter no. of elements you want in array:");
  9.         n = s.nextInt();
  10.         int a[] = new int[n];
  11.         System.out.println("Enter all the elements:");
  12.         for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
  13.         {
  14.             a[i] = s.nextInt();
  15.         }
  16.         System.out.print("Enter the element you want to find:");
  17.         x = s.nextInt();
  18.         for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
  19.         {
  20.             if(a[i] == x)
  21.             {
  22.                 flag = 1;
  23.                 break;
  24.             }
  25.             else
  26.             {
  27.                 flag = 0;
  28.             }
  29.         }
  30.         if(flag == 1)
  31.         {
  32.             System.out.println("Element found at position:"+(i + 1));
  33.         }
  34.         else
  35.         {
  36.             System.out.println("Element not found");
  37.         }
  38.     }
  39. }

Output:

$ javac Search_Element.java
$ java Search_Element
