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;
    int bits = (val <= 255) ? 8 : 16;  
   for(i=bits-1;i>=0;i--)
   {
    if (val & (1<<i))
    { printf("1");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("0");
    }
   }
}

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