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 value = 0;
    for(int i = 0, j=0; i < 16 ; i += 2, j++) {         // iterate te loop till sizeof uint16_t
        value |= ((val >> i&1 ) << j);           /* fetch val rightshift i bit and insert
                                                leftshit in j bit position. */
    }
    return value;
}

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

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

Solving Approach

uint8_t compress_bits(uint16_t val) {

    // Your logic here

    uint8_t value = 0;

    for(int i = 0, j=0; i < 16 ; i += 2, j++) {         // iterate te loop till sizeof uint16_t

        value |= ((val >> i&1 ) << j);           /* fetch val rightshift i bit and insert

                                                leftshit in j bit position. */

    }

    return value;
