Linear Search for a Value

The array {4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42} is given. Read a single integer target from standard input, then print the index of its FIRST occurrence, or -1 if the target is not in the array.

For example, if the input is 16, print the output shown in Expected Output.

If the target does not appear (for example 99), print -1. Indices start at 0.

Expected Output:

3↵

= newline. The output ends with a newline — print one after the last line.
