Print Binary Representation of an 8-bit or 16-bit Value

Code

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

void print_binary(uint16_t val) {
    if(val <= 255){
    for (int i = 7; i >= 0; i--) {
        unsigned int bit = (val >> i) & 1;
        printf("%u", bit);
    }
    }else{
        for (int i = 15; i >= 0; i--) {
            unsigned int bit = (val >> i) & 1;
            printf("%u", bit);
        }
    }
}

int main() {
    uint16_t val;
    scanf("%hu", &val);
    print_binary(val);
    return 0;
}
