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
    uint16_t holder_reg = reg << n; // Note that this assumes n < 16
    return (reg << n) | (uint8_t)((holder_reg) >> 8);
}

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