Extract Even Bits Only from 32-bit Register

Code

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

uint32_t extract_even_bits(uint32_t reg) {
    uint32_t out = 0;
    uint8_t bit_cnt = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 32; i+=2) {
        out = out | (((reg >> i) & 1) << bit_cnt);
        bit_cnt++;
    }
    return out;
}

int main() {
    uint32_t reg;
    scanf("%u", &reg);
    printf("%u", extract_even_bits(reg));
    return 0;
}
