Welcome to the Forum... :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

what have you tried so far regarding the problem you had posted :cool: :cool: :cool:

here is something you can start with ...

# !/usr/bin/ksh

echo "Input number"
read number < /dev/tty
if [ $(($number % 2)) -eq 0 ]
then
  echo "$number is even"
else
  echo "$number is odd"
fi

exit 0
