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

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