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 = 0; 

    if (val <= 255){ 
        i = 7;
    } else { 
        i = 15;
    }
    for (i; i >= 0; i--){ 
    printf("%d", (val >> i) & 1);
    } 
}

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