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 value = 0;
    int i = 0;
    for(i=0;i<8;i++)
    {
        if(val & (0x01<<i))
        {
            value |= (0x01<<(2*i));
        }
    }

    return value;
}

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

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