    for(i=0;i<=n-1;i++){
         scanf("%d",&a[i]);
    }

    printf("Enter the number to be search: ");
    scanf("%d",&m);
    for(i=0;i<=n-1;i++){
         if(a[i]==m){
             c=1;
             break;
         }
    }
    if(c==0)
         printf("The number is not in the list");
    else
         printf("The number is found");

    return 0;
}

Sample output:
Enter the size of an array: 5
Enter the elements of the array: 4 6 8 0 3

Q:

Explain fork() system call?

Answer

The `fork()’ used to create a new process from an existing process. The new process is called the child process, and the existing process is called the parent. We can tell which is which by checking the return value from `fork()’. The parent gets the child’s pid returned to him, but the child gets 0 returned to him.
