Bit Reversal in an 8-bit Value

Code

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

uint8_t reverse_bits(uint8_t val) {
    uint8_t reg = 0;
    for(int i =0; i<8; i++) {
        reg<<=1;
        reg |= (val & 1);
        val>>=1;
    }
    return reg;
}

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

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