I don't see the previous warning about non void function not returning data, I don't see what else to fix. Well, you can opt to return the index of found element instead of printing it inside the function. In which case, you setup a variable in main function to hold the return value from `searchElement`. Later on you use that variable, and print it inside main function. int searchElement(int arr[], int n, int key) { for(int i=0;i<n;i++) { if(arr[i]==key) { return i; // return the index } } return -1; // not found } int main() { int pos = searchElement(arr,7, 5); if(pos == -1) // print not found else // print the returned index here return 0; } (Edited)

Function `searchElement` signature shows that it returns an `int`, but you didn't issue a return statement even until the end of the function. Add a return statement, e.g. return the index (if found) or return -1 when not found.
