Hi this is Salman.I am having a problem is linear search.The program doesnt compile giving the error "No method found matching linsearch".My code is
class search{
public static void main(String args[]){
int A[]=new int[1000];
for(int i=0;i<A.length;i++){
A[i]=(int) (1000*Math.random() +1);
System.out.println(linSearch(799, A[i]));
}
}
}
class searching{
public static int linSearch (int target, int [] list)
{
int location = -1, i = 0;
boolean found = false;
while (!found && i < list.length)
{
if (list [i] == target)
found = true;
else
i++;
}
if (found)
{
location = i;
}
return location;
}
}
Please tell me what to do

hi everyone,
You need to declare an instance of the class containing the function
like this

searching a = new searching();
System.out.println(a.linSearch(799, A[i]));

Yours Sincerely
