Searching an array using loop

Question

I have an array of numbers 1 to 10 and I am taking a number from user.

Now I want to check whether that number is present in my array or not so is there any way to search it. I wanted it to be searched using loop as we to do in C programming

Suppose the following is the scenario

    int numbers[] = { 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 };

//easiest way if your array is already sorted is to use binarySearch

    if(Arrays.binarySearch(numbers, number_input_by_user) >=0 ){
                 //found in array
            }else{
                   //not found in array
    }

If your array is not sorted you can use

Arrays.sort(numbers);
