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
    uint16_t reg1 = 0x0000, val;
    for(uint8_t i=0; i<16; i+=1){
        val = (reg>>(i*2))&1;
        if(val){
            reg1 |= (1<<i);
        }
    }
    return reg1;
}

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