For-loop counter and variable assignment in Django template?

Question

I'm trying to obtain the equivalent in Django's template language. Is this possible? I want to print the final number , not the count each iteration.

int num=0;
for (int i = 0; i < numitems; i++)
{
   num += 1;
}

I've tried:

{% for task in tasks %}
   {{ forloop.counter0 }}
   {counter}
{% endfor %}

I think you are looking for:

{{ tasks | length }}
