Extract the Nibble from an 8-bit Register

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstdint>

unsigned char extractNibble(unsigned char reg, int pos) {
    uint8_t a = 0;
    if(pos == 0)
    {
        reg = reg & 0x0f;
    }
    else
    {
        reg = (reg>>4);
      //  reg = reg&0x0f;
    }
    return reg;
}

int main() {
    unsigned char reg;
    int pos;
    scanf("%hhu %d", &reg, &pos);
    printf("%d", extractNibble(reg, pos));
    return 0;
}
