Python Code - Linear Search

Question

I am able to run this code perfectly fine on the IDLE which is downloaded in my laptop but the same won't run here in the code playground . Why so ?

CODE:

def Lsearch(ar,item):
i=0
while i<len(ar) and ar[i]!=item:
i+=1
if i<len(ar):
return i
else:
return False

b=[2,7,5,3,9,4]
Lsearch(b,3)

P.S : I have the screenshots of the same . Don't know how to upload it.

Answer 1

Hi Sreyashi Bhattacharjee!

I tried running your code on Sololearn's Code Playground, and it worked quite fine! What did it say when you ran it?

Your code doesn't have any output, so I had modified the last line to
print(Lsearch(b, 3))

P.S., uploading screenshots/images is tricky. You can post it in your own feed or upload it to Imgur/Dropbox/Google Drive and share a link here. But I don't think that would be necessary in this case.

Answer 2

Make a code and publish here the link, making it easier to debug for who reads

Answer 3

It was saying
"No output"
Thank you for the corrections.
