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

    uint8_t is_match = 0;

    for (uint8_t i = 0; i < 16; i++)
    {
        if ((((reg << i) | (reg >> (16 - i))) & 0xFFFF) == target)
        {
            is_match = 1;
            break;
        }
        else
        {
            is_match = 0;
            continue;
        }
    }
    
    return is_match;
}

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