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 start_mask;
    uint8_t end_mask;

    start_mask = (0xFF << start);
    end_mask = (0xFF >> (7-end));

    start_mask &= end_mask;

    reg |= start_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;
}
