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 spreaded=0;
    for (int i=0;i<8;i++){
            //if bit is 1
            if (val&(1u<<i)){
                spreaded|=(1u<<2*i);
            }
        }
         return spreaded;
    }

   


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

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