#today we are going to write a program which will search for a number/elements in list
#we wil use linear seach approach
#it is not the most effective not good good way to learn about searching
#we will iterate through all the element of the list lets begin

    #thank you for watcching #keep coding

    #i'll put the code in the description box so dont worry
