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 sum=0;int pos=0;
    for(uint8_t i=0;i<32;i=i+2)
    {
        sum += ((reg >> i) &1U)<<pos;
        pos++;
    }
    return sum;
}

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