- **Parameters:**
  - `t` (list): Array to search in
  - `n` (int): Number of elements to check
  - `x`: Value to search for
- **Returns:** True if value exists, False otherwise

#### `existance_ch(c, ch)`

## Usage Examples

```python
# Input validation example
age = saisir_n(0, 150)  # Get age between 0 and 150
height = saisir_f(0.0, 3.0)  # Get height between 0.0 and 3.0 meters
name = saisir_ch()  # Get alphabetic name

# Array operations example
import numpy as np
arr = [0] * 5
remplir_t(5, arr)  # Fill array with user input
afficher_t(5, arr)  # Display the array

# Matrix operations example
matrix = np.zeros((3, 3), dtype=int)
remplir_m(matrix, 3)  # Fill 3x3 matrix
afficher_m(matrix, 3)  # Display the matrix

# Search examples
found = existance_t([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 5, 3)  # Returns True
char_exists = existance_ch('a', "hello")  # Returns False
digit_exists = existance_int(5, 12345)  # Returns True

# Mathematical operations
gcd_result = pgcd(48, 18)  # Returns 6
power_result = puissance(2, 8)  # Returns 256
digit_sum = sommechiffre("12345")  # Returns 15

# String processing
is_palindrome = palindrom("racecar")  # Returns True
```

## Known Issues

1. **saisir_f function**: Missing `.strip()` in the validation loop
2. **Matrix functions**: Use NumPy-style indexing, ensure NumPy is installed
3. **Search functions**: Could be optimized with early return for better performance

## Requirements

- Python 3.x
- NumPy (for matrix operations)

## Installation

1. Save the functions to a Python file (e.g., `utils.py`)
2. Install NumPy if using matrix functions: `pip install numpy`
3. Import the functions you need: `from utils import saisir_n, afficher_t`
