Problem Statement

Write a C program to allocate a dynamic array, perform a linear search for a target element, print its index or -1, and free the memory.

Input Format

First line contains n. Second line contains n integers. Third line contains the target value.

Output Format

Print the index of the element or -1.

Constraints

1 <= n <= 100
