Bit Spreading Interleave Bits with Zeros

Code

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

uint16_t spread_bits(uint8_t val) {
    // Your logic here
    uint16_t r=0x0000;
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<8;i++){
        uint8_t g=(1<<i)&val;
        r=r|(g<<i);
    }
    return r;
}

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

    uint16_t result = spread_bits(val);
    printf("%u", result);
    return 0;
}
