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)
{
   uint32_t mask = 0x0000;
   for(int index = pos;index<(pos+len);index++)
       mask = mask | (1<<index);
    reg = reg & ~mask;
    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;
}
