Extract Even Bits Only from 32-bit Register

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

uint32_t extract_even_bits(uint32_t reg) {
    uint16_t result = 0;
    uint8_t pos = 0;
    for (uint8_t i = 0; i < 32; i += 2) {
        if ((reg >> i) & 1) result |= (1 << pos);
        ++pos;
    }
    return result;
}

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