Detect Circular Pattern Match

Code

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

uint8_t is_circular_match(uint16_t reg, uint16_t target) {
    uint32_t regs = reg << 16;
    regs = regs | reg;
    
    for(int i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
        uint16_t temp = regs & 65535;
        if (temp == target) {
            return 1;
        }
        regs = regs >> 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

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