I am trying to number of images created by a module as define by loop.length value

i trying th following:

\<div id=“a”\>  
{% for item in module.image\_gallery %}  
{% set no\_Images = loop.length %}  
\<img src=“{{ item.src }}” alt=“{{ item.alt }}” \>

\<h3\>Loop length with loop = {{ no\_Images }}\</h3\>  
{% endfor %}

\</div\>

\<h3\>Loop length outside of loop= {{ no\_Images }}\</h3\>

But i dont seem to be able to get the value outide of the loop

for now i using jquery to find the length;

var imgCount = $(“img”).length;
