C Program for Linear String Search

The document contains a C program that implements a linear search algorithm to find a target string within an array of strings. It prompts the user to enter the number of strings, the strings themselves, and the target string to search for. The program outputs the index of the target string if found, or a message indicating that the string was not found.
