Compress Interleaved Bits Reverse Bit Spreading

Code

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

uint8_t compress_bits(uint16_t val) {
    uint8_t AddRegister = 0;

    for (int i=0 ; i<16 ; i += 2)
    {
       AddRegister |= ((val >> i) & 1) << (i/2); 
    }
    return AddRegister;
}

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

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