Lab Assignment # 2 - Programming 3

Programming 03 COMP-212 Exercise 01 [5 marks] Write a generic method, Search [int Search(T[ ] dataArray, T searchKey) ] that searches an array using linear search algorithm. Method Search should compare the search key with each elements in the array until the search key is found or until the end of the array is reached. Take the size of array as 10. If the search key is found, return its location in the array; otherwise return -1. Test this method by passing two types of arrays to it. ( an integer array and a char array) Display the generated values so that the user knows what values he/she can search for. (Hint: use (T: IComparable) in the where clause for method Search so that you can use method CompareTo() to compare the search key to the elements in the array]
