Dada una matriz de n
elementos, escriba una función para buscar el índice de un elemento determinado (destino)
O(n)
Peor caso
O(1)
Mejor caso (Si el primer elemento de matriz es el elemento de destino)
O(1)
arr = [1, 3, 9, 5, 0, 2]
target = 5
La búsqueda lineal debe devolver el índice 3, ya que 5 está en el índice 3.
target = 6
La búsqueda lineal debe devolver -1 ya que 6 no está presente en la matriz
