Brace expansion

[Ray Parrish]

Hello,

I'm attempting to study Brace Expansion at the same named page at 
bash-hackers.org and it states the following -
Generate numbers with a prefix 001 002 ...

Using a prefix:

for i in 0{1..9} 10; do printf "%d\n" "$i";done

However I am getting *this* output when running their command in 
Terminal In Ubuntu 8.04

ray@ray-desktop:~$ for i in 0{1..9} 10; do printf "%d\n" "$i";done
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
bash: printf: 08: invalid number
0
bash: printf: 09: invalid number
0
10

So... what gives??? I tried looking at info coreutils 'printf 
invocation', and it does not even explicitly spell out what the %d 
argument means, instead it just tells me "it's like the C printf, except 
for these differences". I have never used C, and have no idea where to 
look it up, so what good is that info page??? I'm trying to learn bash, 
and have no desire to learn to program in C.

Later, Ray Parrish
