Set Multiple Bits in 8-bit Register

Code

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

uint8_t set_range(uint8_t reg, uint8_t start, uint8_t end) {
    // Your code here
    uint8_t mask=0, i=0;
    if(start > end)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    for(i=start;i<=end;i++)
    {
        mask |= (1<<i);
    }
    reg = (reg | mask);
    return reg;
}

int main() {
    uint8_t reg, start, end;
    scanf("%hhu %hhu %hhu", &reg, &start, &end);
    printf("%u", set_range(reg, start, end));
    return 0;
}
