Detect Alternating Pattern

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int is_alternating_pattern(int *mem, int k) {
    int val = *mem;
    while (k-1) {
        if (*++mem == val) {
            return 0;
        }
        val = *mem;
        k--;
    }
    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;
}
