I want to change all the files permission in my home directory

Ex: I have 10 directory under my dir and each directory contains 10 files with different permission. I would like to change all of them and assign one permission.

/home/test - under test i have 10 directory and each directory contains 10 files.

how can i write unix script. I am able to change permission in one directory but would like to do all of them with script..

Go to the folder,

ex: /home/test - your home folder

then type, "chmod -R 777 *"

R-> recursively traverse the files and folders.
777 -> permission.
* -> all

All the best
