Detect Circular Pattern Match

Code

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

uint8_t is_circular_match(uint16_t reg, uint16_t target) {
    // Your code here
    int count = 0;

    for ( int i = 0; i <= 16; i++){
        reg = (reg << i)|(reg >> (16-i));
        if (reg == target){
            count = 1;
        }
    }
    return count;
}

int main() {
    uint16_t reg, target;
    scanf("%hu %hu", &reg, &target);
    printf("%hhu", is_circular_match(reg, target));
    return 0;
}
