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 RetVal = 0;
    uint8_t pos = 0;
    while(reg)
    {
        if( reg & 0x01)
        {
            RetVal |= (1<<pos++);
        }
        reg >>= 2;
    }
    return RetVal;
}

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