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=15; i>=0; i--) {
            printf("%d", (val >> i)  & 1);
        }
    } else  {
        for (int i=7; i>=0; i--) {
            printf("%d", (val >> i) & 1);
        }
    }
}

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