Scan Memory for Three Consecutive Increasing Values

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int find_pattern(int *mem, int n) {


    // Write your pointer-based logic here
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++){

        if((((*mem)+1 == (*(mem+1))) && ((*(mem+1)+1) == (*(mem+2))))){

            return i;

        }

        mem++;

    }

    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;
}
