Checksum Validation

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int validate_checksum(int *mem, int n) {
    int checksum = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
        // First the value is evaluated and then the pointer is incremented
        checksum ^= *(mem++);
    }
    return (checksum == *mem);
}

int main() {
    int n, arr[100];
    scanf("%d", &n);
    
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
    }

    int result = validate_checksum(arr, n);
    printf("%d", result);

    return 0;
}
