A linear search is the process of searching an unsorted array for a particular value. Write a program that will read a text file of 15 license plate numbers into a String array and then allow the user to input a license plate to search for. To keep things simple, each license plate number will consist of three upper case letters followed by four numbers. An example would be: TOP5432
Include a method called linearSearch that accepts a String license plate number and a String array. The method should return the location in the array of where the plate is found or an appropriate message if the plate is not found.
