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

Code

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

void print_binary(uint16_t val) 
{
    int i;
    if(val<=255)
      i=8;
    else
      i=16;

    i--;
    while(i>=0)
    {
        if(val&(1<<i))
          printf("1");
        else 
          printf("0");

        i--;
    }
}

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