No.. It should work for all positive values of n.
if n == 2 (000…010)
then n & (n-1) will be (000…010) & (000…001) = 000…000 (hence unset the rightmost bit.
Similarly if n is one then also it will unset the rightmost bit (the only set bit).

your code works perfectly only for values where n>2,
am i right…
