Sequential search in java

[josirucu]

hi.i've written a program that loads #'s into an array and sorts them.The end user then inputs a number and the program is supposed to perform a sequential search for the input number and tell wether it was found or not found.I'm hoping someone canhelp me with my sequential search.binary gave me enough trouble.any idea?

>binary gave me enough trouble.
Binary search is leaps and bounds more complex than sequential search. Start at the beginning, and go to the end. If you find a match, stop. What's so hard about that? You probably solved the first half of the problem when you printed the sorted array (ie. start at the beginning and go to the end).

There's always some goofball who encourages lazy students by doing their homework for them.
