Linear Search

Return the index of the first occurrence of a target value, or -1 if not found.

Examples

  • linearSearch([4,2,7], 2) → 1

Constraints

  • Keep the required function name so the tests can find it
  • Return a value instead of only logging it
  • Do not mutate inputs unless the challenge asks you to
