odd number and even numbers

[Colin Holgate]

Another approach is to use Step in your repeat loop. See this:

on test
    repeat with a = 1 to 10 step 2
       put return & a*3 after msg
       put return & sqrt(a+1) after msg
    end repeat
end test

For odd numbers a*3 will be put, and for even numbers the square root  
of the number will be put. Doing it that way involves no if  
statements, and no function calls.
