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

Code

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

void print_binary(uint16_t val) {
    // Your logic here
    char out[17];
    char *ptr = out;

    if (val <= 255) {
        for (int i = 7; i>=0; i--)
        *(ptr++) = ((val >> i) & 0x01) + '0';
        
    }
    else{
        for (int i = 15; i>=0; i--)
        *(ptr++) = ((val >> i) & 0x01) + '0';
    }
    *ptr = '\0'; //terminate
    printf("%s",out);
    
}

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