Question 1: The user will enter a list of numbers and a separate number. The program will display the index at which the number is present in the list. If the number is absent, it'll return -1. Do NOT use built-in functions for searching.

input=['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h']# let it be the list from where the item needs to be selected ie. sample list 
m='g' # Let the user wants to check whether the m and n strings belong to that list or not
n='x'
o=len(input)
print(o)
8 
#true case
i=1
k=input[0]
while(i<=o):
    t=input[i]
    i=i+1
    if(m==t):
        break
    elif(not(m in input)):
        i=-1
        break
print(i)
