How to reverse the 8-bits in byte by c Code?

I think it may be like circular shift left, but didn't work with me

You forgot to store your shift of num back into it. Try this: num >>=1;

for(int i=8; i; i=i-1) {result = (result << 1) + (source & 1); source>>=1}

I tried this, but it gives me reversed num= 255 not 128!, how to fix? #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> void Reverse_8_bits(unsigned char num) { unsigned char i; unsigned char result; for(i=8; i>0 ; i--) { result = ((result << 1) + (num & 1)); num >>1; } printf("Reversed num= %hhu", result); } int main() { Reverse_8_bits(1); return 0; }
