Bit Reversal in an 8-bit Value

Code

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

uint8_t reverse_bits(uint8_t val) {
    int res = 0;
    int n = -1;
    while (++n < 8)
        res |= ((val >> n) & 1) << 7 - n;
    return res;
}

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

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