Construct UART Data Frame with Parity Bit

Code

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

    uint8_t ans = 0x0;
    int count = 0;
    if(ctrl->parity_enable == 0){
        ans = data;
    }
    else{
        ans = data;
        while(data>0){
            if(data & 0x01){
                count++;
            }

int main() {

    scanf("%hhu", &data);  // 7-bit input

    uint8_t parity_enable, parity_type;

    uint8_t frame = create_uart_frame(data, &ctrl);
