Bit Spreading Interleave Bits with Zeros

Code

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

uint16_t spread_bits(uint8_t val) {
    // Your logic here
    int temp=0;
    for(int i=0,j=0;i<8;i++,j=j+2)
    {
        if(val>>i&1)
        temp=temp|(1<<j);

    }
    return temp;
}

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

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