Thread: Problem in the output of the for loop ..

This is the program :

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <conio>

int main()
{
   float A[2][3] ;
   int i,j,key,row,col,flag=0;


   cout<< "\enter array elements:" << endl;
   for ( i=0 ; i<2 ; i++ )
   {  for ( j=0 ; j<3 ;j++ )
        cin>> A[i][j];
   }


  cout<< "array elements are: \n" ;
  for ( i=0 ; i<2 ; i++ )
  {  for ( j=0 ; j<3 ;j++ )
   { cout<<  setw(6) << A[i][j];
   }
  cout<< endl;
  }

  cout<< "enter the key you want to find :  ";
  cin>> key;
  for ( i=0 ; i<2 ; i++ )
    for ( j=0 ; j<3 ; j++ )
    {  if ( A[i][j] == key )
      {  row=i;
         col=j;
         cout<< key << " was found at row " << (row+1) <<" col "<< (col+1);
         flag = 1;
         break;
      }
      else // remove this else
      {
       cout<< key << " was not found" ;
       break;
      }   }

// if(!flag) printf("key not found");

getch();
return 0;
}

The output is :

Code:

enter array elements:
1 2 3 4 5 6
array elements are:
     1     2     3
     4     5     6
enter the key you want 4
4 was not found4 was found at row 2 col 1

The problem is in the last loop .. if the value is found it will print its location and the other output if its not found ..

This is the output for unfound value :

Code:

enter array elements:
1 2 3 4 5 6
array elements are:
     1     2     3
     4     5     6
enter the key you want to find : 9
9 was not found9 was not found

How to fix it .. ??

Any help is Greatly Appreciated ..

You input a key and only when you've traversed the whole array you'll get to know if the key is present or not. How can you say that the key is not present before traversing the whole array? So, remove the else statement and put it after the array has been traversed with the condition that the key is not found.
