Bit Reversal in an 8-bit Value

Code

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

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

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

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