Thread: Arrays, how to find if some number is the element of an array.

Well im trying to figure out arrays and such and working on a program to find if a number inputed by the user belongs to a particular array. this is what i have so far and im kinda stuck as i got no idea how to make the next step.

So i have initialized 2 arrays with different numbers and im asking the user to find a number. When the user lets say, enters 4. The program should say 4 is in ArrayA, if the user enters 7 then the program should say 7 is in ArrayB. Any suggestions?

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	

	int ArrElement;
	int *pArrElement =&ArrElement;

	int ArrayA[8];
	int ArrayB[8];

	for (int i =0; i<5; i++)
	{
		ArrayA[i] = i+1;
		cout << "ArrayA["<< i << "]: " << ArrayA[i] << "\n";
		cout <<"\n";
	}

		for (int j=5; j<10; j++)
		{
			ArrayB[j] = j+1;
			cout << "ArrayB["<< j << "]: " << ArrayB[j] << "\n";
			cout <<"\n";
		}

		cout << "Find a number between 1 and 10 \n";
		cin >> ArrElement;
		cout << *pArrElement << " belongs to ArrayA\n";


	return 0;
}
