Compress Interleaved Bits Reverse Bit Spreading

Code

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

uint8_t compress_bits(uint16_t val) {
    uint8_t new_n = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++){
        uint8_t bit = ((val >> 2*i) & 1);
        new_n |= (bit << (i));
    }
    // Your logic here
    return new_n;
}

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

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