Increment integer on loop

I know this should be a pretty easy task but I can't seem increase an integer value by 1 on each loop. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong but here's my loop:

#foreach($video in $_XPathTool.selectNodes($contentRoot, "/system-data-structure/featured-videos/video"))
     #set ($num = $_MathTool.toNumber(1))
          <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active" id="youtube-${num}">
          </div>
     #set ($num = $_MathTool.add(1))    
#end

    Hi Matthew,

    Loops actually have an existing iterator that can be accessed using $foreach.index. For additional information about available properties within loops, see this page.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    oh that's amazing! is there anyway to make the iterator start at 1 rather than 0?

    Hi Matthew,

    You would have to implement something similar to what you were doing and add one to the iterator:

    #set ($videos = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($contentRoot, "/system-data-structure/featured-videos/video"))
#foreach($video in $videos)
          <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active" id="youtube-${_MathTool.add($foreach.index, 1)}">
          </div>
#end

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
