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
    int total1s = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
    {
        uint8_t temp = (reg >> i) & 1;
        if (temp) total1s++;
    }

    return total1s;
}

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