Construct UART Data Frame with Parity Bit

Code

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

typedef struct {
    uint8_t parity_enable : 1;
    uint8_t parity_type   : 1;
    uint8_t reserved      : 6;
} UART_Control;

uint8_t create_uart_frame(uint8_t data, UART_Control *ctrl) {
    // Your logic here
    uint8_t parity_bit = 0;

    if (ctrl->parity_enable)
    {
        int ones = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
        {
            if (data & (1 << i))
            {
                ones++;
            }
        }

        if (ctrl->parity_type == 0)
        {
            parity_bit = (ones % 2 != 0) ? 1 : 0;
        }else {
            parity_bit = (ones % 2 == 0) ? 1 : 0;
        }
    }else {
        parity_bit = 0;
    }

    uint8_t frame = (parity_bit << 7) | (data & 0xFF);
    return frame;
}

int main() {
    uint8_t data;
    scanf("%hhu", &data);  // 7-bit input

    uint8_t parity_enable, parity_type;
    scanf("%hhu %hhu", &parity_enable, &parity_type);

    UART_Control ctrl;
    ctrl.parity_enable = parity_enable;
    ctrl.parity_type = parity_type;

    uint8_t frame = create_uart_frame(data, &ctrl);
    printf("frame = 0x%02X", frame);

    return 0;
}
