Detect Alternating Pattern

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int is_alternating_pattern(int *mem, int k) {
    // Write your pointer logic here
    if(k <= 1)
    {
        return 0;
    }

    int prev_element = *mem;

    for(int i=1; i<k; i++)
    {
        if(prev_element == *(mem+i))
        {
            return 0;
        }
        prev_element = *(mem+i);
    }

    return 1;
}

int main() {
    int n, k, arr[100];
    scanf("%d %d", &n, &k);

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

    int res = is_alternating_pattern(arr, k);
    printf("%d", res);

    return 0;
}
