for loop not working
 
This code isn't working:
the num variable will change but for this example it equals 10
Code:
for d in {1..$num};do
  echo $d
done
It echos
Code:
{1..10}
instead of what I want it to echo witch is
Code:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

Code:
for (( d=1 ; d<=$num ; d++ )); do
  echo $d
done
