This is just the portion of my program. This program displays Not Found even if the id number is found.

C#

void search(void)
{
    char ID[10];
    int i, found;

    cout<<"Enter ID to search: ";
    gets(ID);
    found=0;
    for(i=0;i<top;i++)
    {
        if(!strcmp(ID, info[i].ID))
        {
            display(i);
            found=1;
            cout<<"\n";
        }
        else
        {
            cout<<"Not found\n";
        }
    }
}

Here's the incorrect output

C++

Enter ID to search: 111

Not found
Name: jude
ID: 111
Semester: 1
Major: IT

I just want to remove the "Not found"

Remove the else block inside the for loop, and add the "Not found" message inside an if block after the loop has completed:

C++

for (i = 0; i < top; i++)
{
    if (!strcmp(ID, info[i].ID))
    {
        display(i);
        found = 1;
        cout << "\n";
    }
}
if (found == 0)
{
    cout << "Not found\n";
}
