Compress Interleaved Bits Reverse Bit Spreading

Code

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

uint8_t compress_bits(uint16_t val) {
    // Your logic here
    uint8_t temp=0,k;
    int j=0;


    for(int i=0;i<=15;i+=2){
       k =(val>>i)&1;
       temp= temp |(k<<j);
       j++;
    }
    return temp;
}

int main() {
    uint16_t val;
    scanf("%hu", &val);

    uint8_t result = compress_bits(val);
    printf("%u", result);
    return 0;
}
