C Linear Search Program Guide

This C program document contains code for performing linear search on an array using different methods: 1) A basic linear search that searches for a single occurrence and returns the index if found. 2) An expanded linear search that counts multiple occurrences of an element and reports the count. 3) A linear search function that takes the array, size and element to search as parameters and returns the index. 4) A linear search using pointers that searches through the array using pointer arithmetic and returns the index.
