initially by using findBlock it gets the block and then invalidated all the
blocks, my point is when a cpu requests, it will check the tag and valid
bits for hit else its a miss. yeah it's not possible in set associative
caches but what about direct mapped?

hey thanks,that i know but the problem is how to find the block within
the
set, because all the codes are written in such a way that it takes care of
hits only

Again, how can a cache miss have a block with in a set?
I think, I don't understand what you are trying to do. Anyways, in a
direct mapped cache, since there is only one block per set, you can always
add a function that returns you that one block.
