Hi @akshat42bajpai
First of all don’t return - 1, cout statement should be there
Secondly print - 1 only if you have not found the key after traversing whole array, ie it should be printed after for loop not inside it. You can keep a variable to check if desired element was found or not and print - 1 accordingly

i am not able to understand the desired variable concept like what are you tryin to say

#5

Desired element is the key you’re searching.

  1. Initialize isFound variable = false
  2. Traverse the array and try to find the key. If key is found, update the isFound variable = true and print i
  3. After array is traversed completely, check isFound variable. If isFound == false then print -1.
