Answer 1

The way you wrote your code cannot work, for you are actually considering only the first element because of the two return statements in the if/else. Moreover, you use an assignment statement instead of a comparison.

It follows a reviewed example:

bool checkPegs(int *array, int size) {
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        if(array[i] != 0) { return false; }
    }
    return true;
}

Keep in mind that it can be optimized and you can do the same using standard utilities, but I assume that you are learning to code and so it's worth to write it for yourself.
