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
    unsigned int result = 0;
    int bitCount = 0;
    for(int i=0;i<32;i+=2)
    {
        result = (result) | ((reg>>i)&1)<<bitCount;
        bitCount++;
    }
    return result;
}

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