Hey @ManasxCOdE
The array has n elements from indices 0 to n-1. To do linear search, we iterate from 0th element to (n-1)th element,if the element is found between i = 0 and n-1, the for loop would break there itself and after exiting the for loop, the value of i will be the index where it’s found. But if the for loop ends & i is n. this means that element was not found from 0 to n-1 and loop finishes and i reaches n, which means element has not been found, so we print “not found”.
