Set the Bit in an 8-bit Register

/* This code is to set kth bit 
   submitted by Manish Gowda T
   accomplished by leftshift and OR function*/



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

uint8_t set_bit(uint8_t reg, uint8_t pos) {
     uint8_t setter=(1<<pos);
     return reg | setter;
}

int main() {
    uint8_t reg, pos;
    scanf("%hhu %hhu", &reg, &pos);  // Accept register value and position
    uint8_t result = set_bit(reg, pos);
    printf("%u", result);         // Output the result as an integer
    return 0;
}

first we lest shift to the position we need to set 
then we do OR operation
