Extract a Bit Field from a 32-bit Register

Code

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

uint32_t extract_field(uint32_t reg, uint8_t pos, uint8_t len) {
    // Your code here
    uint8_t start = pos; 
    uint8_t end = pos + len - 1; 
    uint32_t mask = (((1 << (end - start + 1)) - 1) << start); 
    return (mask & reg) >> start;;
}

int main() {
    uint32_t reg;
    uint8_t pos, len;
    scanf("%u %hhu %hhu", &reg, &pos, &len);
    printf("%u", extract_field(reg, pos, len));
    return 0;
}
