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 result = 0,n=0;;
    while(n<8){
        if(val&1){
            result = result | (1<<n);
        }
        n++;
        val = val >> 2;
    }
    return result ;
}

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

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