Linear search

hi guyz, i am working on this c++ assignment:

1. Linear Search

I made this function and it goes through a list of int values but i want to modify it so that it goes through all the names and returns the name found. Plz help me out guyz

Code:

---

int searchList(int list[], int numElems, int value)
{
  int index = 0;      // Used as a subscript to search array
  int position = -1;  // To record position of search value
  bool found = false; // Flag to indicate if value was found

  while (index < numElems && !found)
  {
      if (list[index] == value) // If the value is found
      {
        found = true; // Set the flag
        position = index; // Record the value's subscript
      }
      index++; // Go to the next element
  }
return position; // Return the position, or -1

---
