Scan Memory for Three Consecutive Increasing Values

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int find_pattern(int *mem, int n) {
    // Write your pointer-based logic here
    int *p = mem;
    int index = 0;

    while (p <= mem + n - 3)
    {
        if (*(p + 1) == *p + 1 &&
            *(p + 2) == *p + 2)
        {
            return index;
        }
        p++;
        index++;
    }
    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;
}
