/* Program in C to delete an element from the array */

#include<stdio.h>

void main()
{
     int a[20], n, loc, item,i;
     
     printf("\nEnter size of an array: ");
     scanf("%d", &n);

     printf("\nEnter elements of an array:\n");
     for(i=0; i<n; i++)
     {
              scanf("%d", &a[i]);
     }
     
     printf("\nEnter location of deletion: ");
     scanf("%d", &loc);
     
     item = a[loc-1];
     for(i=loc-1; i<n; i++)
     {
              a[i] = a[i+1];
     }
     n--;
     printf("\nITEM deleted: %d", item);
     
     printf("\n\nAfter deletion:\n");
     for(i=0; i<n; i++)
     {
              printf("\n%d", a[i]);
     }
     getch();
}

    Search and remove the element from the given input array and then sort the remaining array
    elements, store that in to the output array. Consider input1 is array elements, input2 is array size
    and input3 is the search element.
    Eg:
    Input1= {54, 26, 78, 32, 55}
    Input2= 5
    Input3=78
    Ouput1= {26, 32, 54, 55}
    Business Rules:
    i) If any of the array element (input1) is negative store -1 into the output array.
    ii) If the array size (input2) is negative store -2 into the output array.
    iii) If the search element (input3) is not present in the array (input1) store -3 into the output array.
