C language programing problem

This daily will allow you to practice more with the bit wise operators and shifts. Consider the following modification of the main program from daily 3:

#include  
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { 
void set_flag(unsigned int* flag_holder, int flag_position); 
void unset_flag(unsigned int * flag_holder, int flag_position); 
int check_flag(unsigned int flag_holder, int flag_position); 
void display_32_flags(unsigned int flag_holder); 

}

unsigned int flag_holder = 0; 
display_32_flags(flag_holder); 
set_flag(&flag_holder, 3); 
set_flag(&flag_holder, 16); 
set_flag(&flag_holder, 31); 
unset_flag(&flag_holder, 31); 
unset_flag(&flag_holder, 3); 
set_flag(&flag_holder, 9); 
display_32_flags(flag_holder); 

return 0;

Write the code for the definition of unset_flag and display_32_flags so that the output of your program looks like the following:

You can think of the unset_flag function as taking an integer and making sure that the nth bit is a 0. You may find the ~ operator useful. It is used to flip the bits of a number making all the zero values 1s and all the 1s zeroes. As in the previous daily, the shifting operators and the bitwise and ( & ) and or ( | ) may also be useful. If you are doing multiplication or division then you are doing it wrong. The display_32_flags function should just print the information to the screen as was given in the previous assignment (just turn it into a function instead).
