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=7;i>=0;i--){
            int bit=(val>>i)&1;
            printf("%d",bit);
        }
    }
    else if(val > 255 && val <= 65535){
        for(int i=15;i>=0;i--){
            int bit=(val>>i)&1;
            printf("%d",bit);
        }
    }
}

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