I think that I have solved the given problem correctly as my code is running perfectly fine on other code editors. However, when I run my code in this code editor I am facing the following compilation error :
source.cpp: In function ‘int LinearSearch(int*, int)’:
source.cpp:16:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]
16 | }

Kindly check my submitted code and inform me about any error that I might have made. Thank you.

Kindly clarify why you did not use a “break” statement in the if-condition “if (a[i]==M)” and also did not use “if(a[i]==N)” condition for the “return -1” statement.
The return statement already exits the loop on finding M , so break is unnecessary, and a[i]==N is irrelevant.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to say if(a[i]==N), I rather meant if(i==n).
if return exits the loop on finding M , break is redundant, and if(i==n) is irrelevant.
