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

Code

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

void print_binary(uint16_t val) {
    // Determine the number of bits to print (8 or 16)
    int bits = (val <= 255) ? 8 : 16;
    // Print the binary representation 
    for (int i = bits - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        printf("%d", (val >> i) & 1);
    }
    
}

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