cout<<“index”<<i<<endl;
break; }
}
if (i==5)
{
cout<<“not present”;
}
return 0;
}
what is wrong in this my not present message is not printing

This problem is occuring as you are declaring the variable ‘i’ again in loop.
When you declared variable int i ; and then you started a loop after that , you shouldn’t declare it again or otherwise these two variables will be independent and variable declared inside the loop would get incremented in the loop and as the loop breaks , it will go on and check if (i==5) . But however , the comparison made in this statement will be between 5 and the outer i . Since the value of outer i was never declared or changed , it would give you wrong answer. To correct this , do not declare a different instance of variable of i in the loop .
int i;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
thanks a lot sir it really helped
