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 frame = data;
    if(ctrl->parity_enable == 0){
        frame &= 0x7F;
    }
    else {
        int count = 0;
        while(data){
            if(data & 1) count++;
            data >>= 1;
        }
        uint8_t parity_bit = (ctrl->parity_type ^ (count % 2)) & 0x01;
        
        if(parity_bit == 1) {
            frame |= (1 << 7);
        }
        else frame &= ~(1 << 7);
    }
    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;
}
