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 temp=0,ui_len,us_temp;

    for(ui_len =0;ui_len<8;ui_len++)
    {
       us_temp =  (val>>ui_len)&0x1;
        temp |= (us_temp<<(ui_len*2));
    } 
    return temp;
}

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

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