Pack Multiple Fields into a 16-bit Control Register

Code

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

uint16_t pack_register(uint8_t mode, uint8_t speed, uint8_t status) {
    // Your logic here
    uint16_t out = 0;
    out |= mode;        
    out |= (speed << 3);
    out &= ~(3<<8); // this clears the bit at the 8-9 position 
    out |= (status<<10);
    return out;
}

int main() {
    uint8_t mode, speed, status;
    scanf("%hhu %hhu %hhu", &mode, &speed, &status);

    uint16_t reg = pack_register(mode, speed, status);
    printf("%u", reg);
    return 0;
}
