Given a permutation, how to calculate the number of nonidentity odd cycles of it?

$begingroup$


$sigma$ is a permutation on $n$ points and it can be written as a product of nonidentity cycles, how to calculate the number of odd nonidentity cycles in this product?



This number is congruent to $n; (mod;2)$.

    I don't understand the question. Every permutation can be written as the product of disjoint cycles in an essentially unique way. Do you have a specific permutation $sigma$ in mind, or are you looking for some kind of general statement? If the latter, what would be the answer you're looking for in the case $n=3?$
