The original is obviously unhelpful, yes. And the code works correctly,
true. But my preferred format would be like this:

data_bit = (data & BIT(i)) ? 1 : 0;

Left shifting BIT() is silly. But I like the extra parentheses around
the bitwise AND operation because that's a hard precedence to remember.
