Detect Circular Pattern Match

Code

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

uint8_t is_circular_match(uint16_t reg, uint16_t target) {
    uint16_t pattern = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<16; i++){
        pattern = (reg << i) | (reg >> (16-i));
        if (pattern == target){
            return 1;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

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