Extract Even Bits Only from 32-bit Register

Code

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

uint32_t extract_even_bits(uint32_t reg) {
    // Your code here
    uint32_t ans = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<32; i++){
        if (i%2==0) ans|= ((reg>>i)&1)<<i/2;
    }
    return ans;
}

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