Searching

User input: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

How do I display "Target Found" when user entered 3? I get the output like this when user searched 3. I know it is because of for loop but I didn't get the correct output when I delete for loop.

Output:
Target not found
Target not found
Target found
Target not found
Target not found

  #include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class student
{
public:
    int id[5], marks[5], target;

};
int main()
{
    student a;
    int i;

    cout<<"Please enter students' id and marks : "<<endl;
    cout<<endl;


    for(i=0; i<5; i++)
    {
        cout<<"Student " << i+1 << " ID: ";
        cin>>a.id[i];
        cout<<"Student " << i+1 << " mark: ";
        cin>>a.marks[i];
    }

    cout<<endl;
    cout<<"Enter the student's ID that you want to search: ";
    cin>>a.target;

    for(i=0; i<5; i++) //the loop is wrong
    {
        if(a.id[i] == a.target)
            cout<<"Target found"<<endl;

        else
            cout<<"Target not found"<<endl;
    }
}

bool found = false;
for(i=0; i<5; i++) //the loop is wrong
{
    if(a.id[i] == a.target) {
        cout<<"Target found"<<endl;
        found = true;
    }
}

if (!found)
    cout<<"Target not found"<<endl;
