Python code of program

Explanation of Source code in program

l=eval(input(“Enter the list of numbers”)) # inputs the list of numbers
x=int(input(“Enter the number”)) #inputs the number you want to check
for i in l: # here for loop starts from the first number of the list to the last number of the list

Output Linear search in python using list

Testing of program
