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

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