Count Set Bits in an 8-bit Register

Code

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

uint8_t count_set_bits(uint8_t reg) {
    uint8_t bit;
    int c=0;
        for(int i=0;i<8;i++){
        bit=(reg>>i)&1;
        if(bit==1)
        c++;

    }
    return c;
}

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