Hi @abhinavssr2003_eab0717682969e5c,

    bool found = false;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        if (M == a[i])
        {
            cout<<i;
            found = true;
            break;
        }
    }
    if(found == false){
        cout<<-1;
    }

You can just create a new variable found, that stores the state whether M is present or not.
