Bit Reversal in an 8-bit Value

Code

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

uint8_t reverse_bits(uint8_t val) {
    uint8_t res=0;
    int i=7;
    while(val>0){
        res|=((val&1)<<i--);
        val = val>>1;
    }
    return res;
}

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

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