printf("\nIf you want to continue y/n");

getch();
} /* main */
OUTPUT
Enter the size of sorting 5
Enter the elements of the array 3 2 1 4 5
Enter the element to be searched 4
Element 4 is in the position 4
If you want to continue y/n
EXPLANATION : The above program reads the entered number of element through for loop. The program checks the specified element and position in the array according to the user entered number. Then the program prints the specified element and their position.
