Original Pull Request: https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/C/pull/1474

State: closed
Merged: No

This pull request improves the existing linear search implementation by:

Changing the return value to the index of the found element instead of just 1/0, allowing users to know the exact position.

Adding input validation to handle edge cases, such as empty arrays.

Modifying the program to allow multiple search queries without restarting.

Enhancing code readability with comments and cleaner variable names.

These improvements make the linear search function more useful and the program more user-friendly.
