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
    if(ctrl->parity_enable==0)  return 0x7F & data;
    else
    {
        uint8_t count = 0;
        uint8_t mask = 0x01;
        for(uint8_t x=0;x<8;x++)
        {
            if(data & mask) count++;
            mask<<= 1;
        }
        if(ctrl->parity_type)
        {
            if(count%2 == 0)    return 0x80 | data;
            else return data;
        }
        else{
            if(count%2 == 0)    return data;
            else    return 0x80 | data;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

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;
}
