Write a program that has these overloaded search methods to do array searching:

boolean search(int[] arr, int searchKey) – searches an integer array given a search key value, returns true if searchKey is found, false if not.

Hint:

boolean found=false;

for(int i=0; i<arr.length; i++){

   if(    ){//compare the array element with the search key value

      //action taken if found

   }

}

//return something

boolean search(String[] arr, String searchKey) – searches an array of strings given a search key value, returns true if searchKey is found, false if not.

(read Comparing_Strings.doc)

In the main method, you can declare and initialize the two arrays with random values, for example:

int[] intArray={7,3,2,8,1,0,9};

String strArray={"Enchanted","Bedazzled","Divine","Delighted","Elegant"};

Use the methods in the program.
