Count Set Bits in an 8-bit Register

Code

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

uint8_t count_set_bits(uint8_t reg) 
{
    int cnt=0;
    for(int i=7;i>=0;i--)
    {
        if((reg>>i)&1==1)
        {
            cnt++;
        }
    }
    return cnt;
}

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