Hello,

Kindly excuse me for putting up misleading statements.
The error was encountered while using */2 in place of 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22.

That is what the problem is actually. It is a highly inefficient way of writing and I would like to know if we have something more efficient.

The code I used w/ sh is working absolutely fine, just the troubles with the long sequence.

Thank You.

Regards,
HKansal
