Add class to two li's, then skip two
Hi, I want to make a list, where item 0 and 1 has a class, item 2 and 3 dont, and item 4 and 5 has class etc.

This is what I have working, but it is not very dynamic.
```
@foreach (var i in Model.Descendants())
{
    if(i.Index() == 0 || i.Index() == 1 || i.Index() == 4 || i.Index() == 5)
    {
        <li class="odd">@i.Name</li>
    }
    else
    {
        <li>@i.Name</li>
    }
}
```
Can you please help me :-)

There might be a nicer way I can't yet see, but you could do this with a couple of variables. Try this (not tested, but I think it'll work):

@{
    var groupCount = 0;
    var oddFlag = true; 
}
@foreach (var i in Model.Descendants())
{
    if (oddFlag)
    {
        <li class="odd">@i.Name</li>
    }
    else
    {
        <li>@i.Name</li>
    }

    groupCount++;
    if (groupCount == 2) 
    {
       groupCount = 0;
       oddFlag = !oddFlag;
    }
}

I think you can use the "InGroupsOf" method to help out here? I don't actually know if this will work, so be warned: Untested code ahead!
```
string className = "";
@foreach (var g in Model.Descendants().InGroupsOf(2))
{
    className = (className == "") ? "odd" : "";         // toggle the className!
    foreach (var i in g)
    {
        <li class="@className">@i.Name</li>
    }
}
```
Best of luck to you!

Thank you both. I had a working solution, but your solution is much simpler.

Thanks! :-D
