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 *ptr=mem;
    for(int i=0;i<n-3;i++){
        int c=0;
        c=*(ptr+i);
        if(c+1==*(ptr+i+1)){
            if(c+2==*(ptr+i+2)){
                return i;
               
            } else{continue;}
        } 
        else {continue;}

    }
    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;
}
