Linear search program in java for character type data

---

The java program given below is capable to perform linear search for characters. When you will run the program then you will be asked to provide the limit, that means how many characters do you want to provide. After providing the limit, you will be asked to provide the characters one by one.

And then you will be asked to provide a single character that you want to search. After providing the second for-loop of the program will check if there is the expected character. If found then a message will be displayed saying, "The character found at position: n" and if not found, then another message will be displayed saying, "The character  x has not found!!!"

import java.util.*;
public class charSearch{
 public static void main(String args[]){
  //DECLARING AN INTEGER TYPE VARIABLE
  int flag=0;

  //CREATING SCANNER OBJECT
  Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

  //MESSAGE TO INPUT THE LIMIT
  System.out.print("Enter the limit: ");

  //GETTING INPUT
  int limit = input.nextInt();

  //DECLARING AN STRING TYPE ARRAY
  char chars[] = new char[limit];

  //MESSAGE TO INPUT CHARACTERS
  System.out.print("Input the characters now: ");

  //STORING THE CHARACTERS INTO AN ARRAY
  for(int i=0; i<limit; i++){
   chars[i] = input.next().charAt(0);
  }

  //MESSAGE TO INPUT A CHARACTER TO SEARCH
  System.out.print("Enter the character you want to search: ");

  //STORING THE CHARACTER INTO VARIABLE
  char searchChar = input.next().charAt(0);

  //CHECKING THE EXPECTING CHARACTER INTO THE ARRAY
  for(int j=0; j<limit; j++){
   if(chars[j]==searchChar){
    //SETTING THE POSITION FOR THE CHARACTER
    int k = j+1;
    //DISPLAYING MESSAGE IF THE EXPECTED CHARACTER FOUND
    System.out.println("The character found at position: "+k);
    //SETTING FLAG=1 IF THE CHARACTER FOUND
    flag = 1;
   }
  }

  //DISPLAYING MESSAGE IF THE EXPECTED CHARACTER DOESN'T EXIST
  if(flag==0){
   System.out.println("The character "+searchChar+" has not found!!!");
  }
 }
}
