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 here2
    uint32_t result = 0;
    uint32_t bit_pos = 0;

    //Loop through all 32 bits
    for(uint32_t i = 0; i < 32; i += 2){
        //Extract the even bit
        uint32_t bit = (reg >> i) & 1;
        //Place it consecutively in result
        result |= (bit << bit_pos);
        bit_pos++;
    }

    return result;
}

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