Keep Only the Highest Set Bit

Code

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

// Complete the function
uint16_t highest_set_bit(uint16_t reg) {
    if (reg ==0) return 0;
    for(int i = 31 ; i>=0;i--)
    if(reg&(1<<i))
    return reg = reg&(1<<i);
    
    
}

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

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