Keep Only the Highest Set Bit

Code

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

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

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

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