Functions in UNIX

I'm trying to create a function using this

Code:

eo (){let re=$1%2; if (($re != 0)); then; echo "Odd"; else; echo "Even"; fi;}

but for some reason I keep getting this error message..

Code:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `{let'

what am I missing?

Try the following:

Code:

eo () { let re=$1%2; if (($re != 0)); then echo "Odd"; else echo "Even"; fi;}

Please note the absence of semi-colons after if / then.
