Count Set Bits in an 8-bit Register

Code

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

uint8_t count_set_bits(uint8_t reg) {
    // Your code here
    uint8_t c=0;
    while(reg){
        if(reg&1 == 1) c++;
        reg = reg>>1;
    }
    return c;
}

int main() {
    uint8_t reg;
    scanf("%hhu", &reg);
    printf("%u", count_set_bits(reg));
    return 0;
}
