Bit Spreading Interleave Bits with Zeros

Code

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

uint16_t spread_bits(uint8_t val) {
    // Your logic 
    uint16_t newval=0;
    int bv;
    for (int i=0;i<=7;i++){
            bv =(val & (1<<i))?1:0; //to check the value of each bit
            newval |= (bv<<(i*2)); //to append the value for every twice the value of index

    }
    return newval;
}

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

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