repeating test several times

echo "Enter Number of times u want this to be run"
read RUN
for i in {1..$RUN}
do
echo "i am going to market"
done


now the issue is that when i run this script it ask me "Enter Number of times u want this to be run" and then i put the value ,say i put 10, but when the script runs it gives this out:i am going to market

but it should give this output :
i am going to market
i am going to market
i am going to market like this 10 times.....can anyone suggest where i am wrong and anyother way to solve this issue.

Do not post classroom or homework problems in the main forums. Homework and coursework questions can only be posted in this forum under special homework rules.

Please review the rules, which you agreed to when you registered, if you have not already done so.

More-than-likely, posting homework in the main forums has resulting in a forum infraction. If you did not post homework, please explain the company you work for and the nature of the problem you are working on.
