Clear Specific Bits in a 32-bit Register

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

uint32_t clear_bits(uint32_t reg, uint8_t pos, uint8_t len) {
    // Your code here
    uint8_t index = pos;
    for(index;index<pos+len;index++)
    {
        if(reg&(1<<index))
        reg ^= (1<<index);
    }
    return reg;
}

int main() {
    uint32_t reg;
    uint8_t pos, len;
    scanf("%u %hhu %hhu", &reg, &pos, &len);
    printf("%u", clear_bits(reg, pos, len));
    return 0;
}
