    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            ArrayList<Integer> listOfNumbers = new ArrayList<>();
            Integer keyToSearch = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
            String[] NumberArray = args[0].split(",");
            for (String Number : NumberArray) {
                listOfNumbers.add(Integer.parseInt(Number.trim()));
            }
            if (listOfNumbers.size() >= 1) {
                StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
                Boolean searched = linearSearch(listOfNumbers, keyToSearch);
                System.out.println(searched);
            } else {
                System.out.println(
                        "Usage: please provide a list of integers (\"1, 4, 5, 11, 12\") and the integer to find (\"11\")");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(
                    "Usage: please provide a list of integers (\"1, 4, 5, 11, 12\") and the integer to find (\"11\")");
        }
    }

    private static Boolean linearSearch(ArrayList<Integer> list, Integer keyToSearch) {
        Boolean ans = false;
