Keep Only the Highest Set Bit

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

// Complete the function
uint16_t highest_set_bit(uint16_t reg) {
    uint16_t mask = 1 << 15;
    while(mask != 0) {
        if ((mask & reg) != 0) {
            break;
        }
        mask >>= 1;
    }

    return mask;
}

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

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