Rotate Left in an 8-bit Register

Code

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

uint8_t rotate_left(uint8_t reg, uint8_t n) {
    // Your code here
    uint8_t bit = 0;
    for(uint8_t index = 0; index < n; index++)
    {
        bit = reg >> 7;
        reg = (reg << 1) | bit;
    }

    return reg;
}

int main() {
    uint8_t reg, n;
    scanf("%hhu %hhu", &reg, &n);
    printf("%u", rotate_left(reg, n));
    return 0;
}
