I need to create a script for school but it doesn't seem to work,

#!/bin/bash

echo "hoeveel vakken heb jij deze periode?"
read $AANTAL


if [ -d "/home/school/jaar_1/periode_4" ];

then
    echo "directoy bestaat al."

else

    mkdir -p /home/school/jaar_1/periode_4/vak{1..$AANTAL}


fi
mkdir

    Try this. When debugging remember you can type these commands individually and add echo commands to debug by outputting the values of the variables at each stage. Note that your read command was also incorrectly referring to $AANTAL instead of AANTAL.

    #!/bin/bash

echo "hoeveel vakken heb jij deze periode?"
read AANTAL

if [ -d "/home/school/jaar_1/periode_4" ];

then
     echo "directoy bestaat al."

else
     for i in $(seq 1 $AANTAL)
          do
          mkdir -p /home/school/jaar_1/periode_4/vak$i
          done
fi
