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) {
    uint32_t mask=0;
    len-=1;
    while(len>0)
    {
        mask|=(1<<len);
        len-=1;
    }
    mask|=(1<<len);
    return ((reg>>pos)&mask);
}

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;
}
