Compress Interleaved Bits Reverse Bit Spreading

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
uint8_t compress_bits(uint16_t val) 
{
    uint8_t result = 0;
    for(int i=0;i<8;i++)
    {
        if(val & (1<<(i*2)))
        {
            result |= (1<<i);
        }
    }
    return result;
}
int main()
{
    uint16_t val;
    scanf("%hu", &val);
    uint8_t result = compress_bits(val);
    printf("%u", result);
    return 0;
}
