Hey,

Im curious how i can create a counter inside a for loop in hubspot? I have a for loop that spit outs different links right now, but i need to be able to keep the count of how many iteration it does. How do i do it in HubL?  
For example in javascript you can keep track of it like this:

for (let i = 0; i \< 5; i++) {  
console.log(`Iteration number ${i}`);  
}

In the same way i want to create a function inside my for loop on my hubspot page where i can set i to a number and for each iteration it increases by 1. I hope this makes sense:)

</div>

loop.index  
i = i is defined ? i + 1 : 1  
loop.index0  
i = i is defined ? i + 1 : 0  
Backwards…  
loop.revindex  
i = i Is defined ? i - 1 : loop.length  
loop.revindex0  
i = i Is defined ? i - 1 : loop.length - 1

How would i put it in my code if my for loop looks like this?

```lia-code-sample
{% for item in items %}
Here goes the content for the loop...
{% endfor %}

```
