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 myDta = data;
    uint8_t numOfOne = 0;

    while(data)
    {
        data &= (data - 1);
        numOfOne ++;
    }

    if (ctrl->parity_enable)
    {
        if((!(ctrl->parity_type & 1) && (numOfOne & 1)) || ((ctrl->parity_type & 1) && !(numOfOne & 1)))
        {
            myDta |= (1 << 7);
        }
    }
    return myDta;
}

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;
}
