Extract Even Bits Only from 32-bit Register

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

uint32_t extract_even_bits(uint32_t reg) {
    // Your code here
    uint32_t n=0;
    for (int i=0;i<16;i++){
        uint32_t val=(reg>>(2*i))&1;
        n |=(val<<i);
    }
    return n;

    
}

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