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 bit = 0;
    uint8_t reconst_bit = 0;
    for (uint8_t i = 0; i < 8; i++)
    {
    	/* code */
    	bit = (val >> 2*i) & 1;
    	reconst_bit |= bit << i;

    }
    return reconst_bit;
}


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

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