CSC403: Linear search [3/8]

  public static boolean contains (double val, double[] list) {
    int lo = 0;
    int hi = list.length - 1;
    while (lo <= hi) {


      if (val != list[lo]) lo = lo + 1;

      else return true;
    }

    return false;
  }

Output searching for N (will fail, N is not in the array!):
