UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hello every one this is my first post ... well i'm new to linux ....
i've been enjoying shell scripting tutorials and i'm new to writting scripts

i want to write a script that creates a directory tree named in hexadecimal but i'm stuck at the hexadecimal part ... here is my code (incase i was dealing with intergers ...using bash)
max=39
for((i=1;i<=max;i++))
do
mkdir $i
cd$i
done

i have tried using "typeset i16 i" but this gives me an error in bash but it works with ksh yet it names my directories with the "16#" part in ksh ...
any suggestions on how i can improve my code ... and can i make it work in bash and ksh esp bash ... i've seen posts like mine on the topic of hexadecimals but, ksh was the remedy.

problem has been solved with

Code:

printf

thanks
