Question

// This program ask the user to enter a character. It then performs a

// linear search on a character array and display the number of times

// that the character appears on the array. If the character is not in the

// array, then it will display a message saying that is was not found.

// Add the necessary code for the program to work.

// NOTE:

// You don't have to edit anything in the main(), just in the searchArray() function.

// EXAMPLES:

// Input: Enter a letter to search for: h

// Output: The are 2 number of 'h' letters in the list

// Input: Enter a letter to search for: n

// Output: The are 2 number of 'n' letters in the list

// Input: Enter a letter to search for: z

// Output: The letter z was not found in the list

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int searchArray(char[], int, char); // function prototype

const int SIZE = 10;

int main()

{

              //char charArray[SIZE] = {'h', 'h', 'a', 'r', 'p', 'o', 'o', 'n', 'n', '\0'};
