Bit Spreading Interleave Bits with Zeros

Code

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

uint16_t spread_bits(uint8_t val) {
    // Your logic her
    uint16_t result=0;
    for (int i =0; i< 8 ;i++){
       int bit =(val >> i) & 1;
       result |= (bit << (2*i)); 
    }

    return result;
}

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

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