对于喜欢递归的人来说，这是另一个解决方案。

这个想法很简单。 将输入除以一半并交换两部分，继续直到达到单个位。

Illustrated in the example below.

Ex : If Input is 00101010   ==> Expected output is 01010100

1. Divide the input into 2 halves 
    0010 --- 1010

2. Swap the 2 Halves
    1010     0010

3. Repeat the same for each half.
    10 -- 10 ---  00 -- 10
    10    10      10    00

    1-0 -- 1-0 --- 1-0 -- 0-0
    0 1    0 1     0 1    0 0

Done! Output is 01010100

这里有一个递归函数来求解。(注意，我使用了unsigned int，所以它可以用于sizeof(unsigned int)*8位的输入。

递归函数有两个参数-需要位的值 要反转的值和值中的比特数。

int reverse_bits_recursive(unsigned int num, unsigned int numBits)
{
    unsigned int reversedNum;;
    unsigned int mask = 0;

    mask = (0x1 << (numBits/2)) - 1;

    if (numBits == 1) return num;
    reversedNum = reverse_bits_recursive(num >> numBits/2, numBits/2) |
                   reverse_bits_recursive((num & mask), numBits/2) << numBits/2;
    return reversedNum;
}

int main()
{
    unsigned int reversedNum;
    unsigned int num;

    num = 0x55;
    reversedNum = reverse_bits_recursive(num, 8);
    printf ("Bit Reversal Input = 0x%x Output = 0x%x\n", num, reversedNum);

    num = 0xabcd;
    reversedNum = reverse_bits_recursive(num, 16);
    printf ("Bit Reversal Input = 0x%x Output = 0x%x\n", num, reversedNum);

    num = 0x123456;
    reversedNum = reverse_bits_recursive(num, 24);
    printf ("Bit Reversal Input = 0x%x Output = 0x%x\n", num, reversedNum);

    num = 0x11223344;
    reversedNum = reverse_bits_recursive(num,32);
    printf ("Bit Reversal Input = 0x%x Output = 0x%x\n", num, reversedNum);
}

输出如下:

Bit Reversal Input = 0x55 Output = 0xaa
Bit Reversal Input = 0xabcd Output = 0xb3d5
Bit Reversal Input = 0x123456 Output = 0x651690
Bit Reversal Input = 0x11223344 Output = 0x22cc4488

下面这个怎么样:

    uint reverseMSBToLSB32ui(uint input)
    {
        uint output = 0x00000000;
        uint toANDVar = 0;
        int places = 0;

        for (int i = 1; i < 32; i++)
        {
            places = (32 - i);
            toANDVar = (uint)(1 << places);
            output |= (uint)(input & (toANDVar)) >> places;

        }


        return output;
    }

小而简单(不过只有32位)。

我认为下面是我所知道的最简单的方法。MSB是输入，LSB是“反向”输出:

unsigned char rev(char MSB) {
    unsigned char LSB=0;  // for output
    _FOR(i,0,8) {
        LSB= LSB << 1;
        if(MSB&1) LSB = LSB | 1;
        MSB= MSB >> 1;
    }
    return LSB;
}

//    It works by rotating bytes in opposite directions. 
//    Just repeat for each byte.

您可能希望使用标准模板库。它可能比上面提到的代码慢。然而，在我看来，这似乎更清楚，更容易理解。

 #include<bitset>
 #include<iostream>


 template<size_t N>
 const std::bitset<N> reverse(const std::bitset<N>& ordered)
 {
      std::bitset<N> reversed;
      for(size_t i = 0, j = N - 1; i < N; ++i, --j)
           reversed[j] = ordered[i];
      return reversed;
 };


 // test the function
 int main()
 {
      unsigned long num; 
      const size_t N = sizeof(num)*8;

      std::cin >> num;
      std::cout << std::showbase << std::hex;
      std::cout << "ordered  = " << num << std::endl;
      std::cout << "reversed = " << reverse<N>(num).to_ulong()  << std::endl;
      std::cout << "double_reversed = " << reverse<N>(reverse<N>(num)).to_ulong() << std::endl;  
 }

对于其他可能遇到这个问题的网络搜索者，这里有一个总结(针对C和JavaScript)。

对于JavaScript的完整解决方案，我们可以首先生成表:

const BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE = new Array(256)

for (var i = 0; i < 256; ++i) {
  var v = i, r = i, s = 7;
  for (v >>>= 1; v; v >>>= 1) {
    r <<= 1;
    r |= v & 1;
    --s;
  }
  BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[i] = (r << s) & 0xff;
}

这给了我们BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE，这是@MattJ发布的:

const BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE = new Uint8Array([

])

8位、16位和32位无符号整数的算法可以在这里找到:

function reverseBits8(n) {
  return BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[n]
}

function reverseBits16(n) {
  return (BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[(n >> 8) & 0xff] |
    BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[n & 0xff] << 8)
}

function reverseBits32(n) {
  return (BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[n & 0xff] << 24) |
    (BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[(n >>> 8) & 0xff] << 16) |
    (BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[(n >>> 16) & 0xff] << 8) |
    BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[(n >>> 24) & 0xff];
}

注意，32位版本不能在JavaScript中工作(必须转换为使用bigint，这很简单)，但应该可以在64位语言中工作:

log8(0b11000100)
log16(0b1110001001001100)
log32(0b11110010111110111100110010101011)

// 0b11000100 => 0b00100011
// 0b1110001001001100 => 0b0011001001000111
// doesn't work in JS it seems:
// 0b11110010111110111100110010101011 => 0b0-101010110011000010000010110001

function log8(n) {
  console.log(`${bits(n, 8)} => ${bits(reverseBits8(n), 8)}`)
}

function log16(n) {
  console.log(`${bits(n, 16)} => ${bits(reverseBits16(n), 16)}`)
}

function log32(n) {
  console.log(`${bits(n, 32)} => ${bits(reverseBits32(n), 32)}`)
}

function bits(n, size) {
  return `0b${n.toString(2).padStart(size, '0')}`
}

注意:这个解决方案适用于JavaScript的32位:

function reverseBits32(n) {
  let res = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
    res = (res << 1) + (n & 1);
    n = n >>> 1;
  }

  return res >>> 0;
}

所有3个基于表格的解决方案都可以在C中正常工作。下面是一个粗略的C版本:

#include <stdlib.h>

static uint8_t* BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE;

uint8_t* 
make_bit_reversal_table() {
  uint8_t *table = malloc(256 * sizeof(uint8_t));
  uint8_t i;
  for (i = 0; i < 256 ; ++i) {
    uint8_t v = i;
    uint8_t r = i;
    uint8_t s = 7;
    for (v = v >> 1; v; v = v >> 1) {
      r <<= 1;
      r |= v & 1;
      --s;
    }
    table[i] = (r << s) & 0xff;
  }
  return table;
}

uint8_t 
reverse_bits_8(uint8_t n) {
  return BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[n];
}

uint16_t
reverse_bits_16(uint16_t n)
{
  return (BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[(n >> 8) & 0xff]
    | BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[n & 0xff] << 8);
}

uint32_t
reverse_bits_32(uint32_t n) {
  return (BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[n & 0xff] << 24) 
    | (BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[(n >> 8) & 0xff] << 16) 
    | (BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[(n >> 16) & 0xff] << 8) 
    | BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE[(n >> 24) & 0xff];
}

int 
main(void) {
  BIT_REVERSAL_TABLE = make_bit_reversal_table();
  return 0;
}

伪代码中的位反转

源-要反转的>字节b00101100 Destination ->反转，也需要为unsigned类型，这样符号位就不会向下传播

复制到临时，因此原始不受影响，还需要为unsigned类型，以便符号位不会自动移位

bytecopy = b0010110

循环8://执行8次 测试字节拷贝是否< 0(负)

    set bit8 (msb) of reversed = reversed | b10000000 

else do not set bit8

shift bytecopy left 1 place
bytecopy = bytecopy << 1 = b0101100 result

shift result right 1 place
reversed = reversed >> 1 = b00000000
8 times no then up^ LOOP8
8 times yes then done.
