Answer 1

Sajjad Qayyum you are never assigning a value to the `search` variable. On line 18, where you should've assigned the input to the `search` variable, you are instead assigning it to `arr[i]`, i.e. `arr[6]`.

Also, you are assigning, printing, and searching in the array from index 1 through 5, which is senseless and a but confusing. You should stick to using an array from the 0th index.

Lastly, please copy your code and save it into a c++ code in the code playground, and then link it here so that referencing line numbers and compiler errors are easier.

Answer 2

Sajjad Qayyum , please do not post a complete code direct in the post. it is better to put it in playground and then link it here. Please also use an appropriate tag for mentioning the programming labguage.

On line 21:
Seems like you did not assign the input to "search" variable.
