Check if Two Adjacent '15's Exist in Array

Write a C++ program to check if there are two values 15, 15 adjacent to each other in a given array (length should be at least 2) of integers. Return true otherwise false.

Test Data:
({ 5, 5, 1, 15, 15 }) -> 1
({ 15, 2, 3, 4, 15 }) -> 0
({ 3, 3, 15, 15, 5, 5}) -> 1
({ 1, 5, 15, 7, 8, 15})-> 0

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream>  // Including input-output stream header file

using namespace std;  // Using standard namespace

// Function to check if there are adjacent elements equal to 15 in the array
static bool test(int numbers[], int arr_length)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < arr_length - 1; i++)
    {
        if (numbers[i + 1] == numbers[i] && numbers[i] == 15) return true;  // If two adjacent elements are both equal to 15, return true
    }
    return false;  // Return false if no adjacent elements are equal to 15
}

// Main function
int main()
{
    // Different test cases with arrays of integers
    int nums1[] = {5, 5, 1, 15, 15};
    int arr_length = sizeof(nums1) / sizeof(nums1[0]);
    cout << test(nums1, arr_length) << endl;

    int nums2[] = {15, 2, 3, 4, 15}; 
    arr_length = sizeof(nums2) / sizeof(nums2[0]);
    cout << test(nums2, arr_length) << endl;

    int nums3[] = {3, 3, 15, 15, 5, 5};
    arr_length = sizeof(nums3) / sizeof(nums3[0]);
    cout << test(nums3, arr_length) << endl;

    int nums4[] = {1, 5, 15, 7, 8, 15};
    arr_length = sizeof(nums4) / sizeof(nums4[0]);
    cout << test(nums4, arr_length) << endl;

    return 0;  // Returning 0 to indicate successful completion of the program
}
