Bit Reversal in an 8-bit Value

Code

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

uint8_t reverse_bits(uint8_t val) {
    //take LSB each time, and then rotate val&res by 1 each time
    uint8_t res = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i<=7; i++){
        res <<= 1;
        res |= val&1;
        val >>= 1;
    }
    return res;
}


int main() {
    uint8_t val;
    scanf("%hhu", &val);

    uint8_t result = reverse_bits(val);
    printf("%u", result);
    return 0;
}
