Write code to implement the following function:
/*
* Generate mask indicating leftmost 1 in x. Assume w=32.
* For example, 0xFF00 -> 0x8000, and 0x6600 — > 0x4000.
* If x = 0, then return 0.
*/
int leftmost_one(unsigned x);
Your function should follow the bit-level integer coding rules (page 128), except that you may assume that data type int has w = 32 bits.
Your code should contain a total of at most 15 arithmetic, bitwise, and logical operations.
Hint: First transform x into a bit
