Keep Only the Highest Set Bit

Code

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

// Complete the function
uint16_t highest_set_bit(uint16_t reg) {
    uint16_t temp = 0;
    for(int i =0;i < 16;i++)
    {
        if(reg & (1 << i)) temp = (reg & (1 << i)); 
    }
    return temp;
}

int main() {
    uint16_t reg;
    scanf("%hu", &reg);

    uint16_t result = highest_set_bit(reg);
    printf("%hu", result);
    return 0;
}
