Extract Bit Field from 16-bit Register

Code

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

uint8_t extract_field(uint16_t reg) {
    uint16_t pos = 4;
    uint16_t len = 5;

    uint16_t mask = ((1U<<len)-1);
    uint16_t result = (reg>>pos) & mask;
    return result;

}

int main() {
    uint16_t reg;
    scanf("%hx", &reg);
    printf("%u", extract_field(reg));
    return 0;
}
