Clear the Bit in an 8-bit Register

Code

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

uint8_t clear_bit(uint8_t reg, uint8_t pos) {
    // Clear the bit at position 'pos' using AND with complement
    return reg & ~(1 << pos);
}

int main() {
    uint8_t reg, pos;
    scanf("%hhu %hhu", &reg, &pos);

    if (pos > 7) {  // Validate bit position for 8-bit register
        printf("Invalid bit position\n");
        return 1;
    }

    uint8_t result = clear_bit(reg, pos);
    printf("%u\n", result);

    return 0;
}
