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
    int i=16;
    int mask=0;
    while(i>=0)
    {
        if(reg&(1<<i))
        {
            mask|=(1<<i);
            break;
        }
        i--;
    }
    return mask;
    ;
}

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

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