Abstract
Let $k={\mathbb{F}}_q(T)$ and ${\mathbb{A}}={\mathbb{F}}_q[T]$. In this paper, we obtain the the criterion for the parity of the ideal class number h(${\mathcal{O}}_K$) of the real biquadratic function field $K=k(\sqrt{P_1},\;\sqrt{P_2})$, where $P_1$, $P_2{\in}{\mathbb{A}}$ be two distinct monic primes of even degree.
