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 *tmp = mem;

    while(tmp < &mem[n-2])
    {
        if((*tmp+1 == *(tmp+1)) & (*(tmp+1)+1 == *(tmp+2)))
        {
            return tmp - mem;
        }
        tmp+=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;
}
