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 i = 0; 
    while (i < 16)
    {
        uint16_t rotate_left = reg << i;
        uint16_t rotate_right = reg >> (16 - i);
        if (target == (rotate_left | rotate_right )) 
        {
            return 1; 
        }
         
        i ++;
    }
    return 0;
}

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