Bacteria in a Dish
A colony starts with B bacteria and doubles every hour, but the dish caps the population at C (excess dies immediately). Print the population after H hours.
Input: one line with three integers B, C, H.
Output: min(B·2H, C) computed safely.
Constraints:
- 1 ≤ B ≤ C ≤ 1018
- 0 ≤ H ≤ 109
