Find Duplicate in Range 0 and n-1

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int find_duplicate(int arr[], int n) {
    // Your logic here
    int slow = arr[n -1];
    int fast = arr[n -1];
    do {
        slow = arr[slow];
        fast = arr[arr[fast]];
    } while (slow != fast);

    slow = arr[n - 1];
    while (slow != fast) {
        slow = arr[slow];
        fast = arr[fast];
    }
    return slow;
}

int main() {
    int n;
    scanf("%d", &n);

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

    int result = find_duplicate(arr, n);
    printf("%d", result);
    return 0;
}
