Scan Memory for Three Consecutive Increasing Values

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int find_pattern(int *mem, int n) {
    for(int i = 1; i<n-1;i++)
    {
        if((*(mem+i)-*(mem+i-1) == 1)
        && (*(mem+i+1)-*(mem+i)==1))
        {
            return i-1;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

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

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

    int res = find_pattern(arr, n);
    printf("%d", res);

    return 0;
}
