i got stuck on my for loop cause i am not sure how to use the modulo..

i have 12 connected primitives with a class attribute and i want to have 6 groups with it
but only with the first and second and the third and fourth and so on.

so i did the following
int count = int(1+(@class/2) );
for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
    string groupname = sprintf("layer%i",i);
    setprimgroup(0,groupname, @primnum, 1, "set");
    setprimgroup(0,groupname, @primnum+count, 1, "add");
}
but that does not work,

do i need a second for loop in the first or modulo with 2 to get 01 23 45 67 89 etc..
?

run over primitives with..

string BaseName, GroupName;  

BaseName = "layer_";

GroupName = BaseName + itoa( (@primnum/2 + 1));
setprimgroup(geoself(), GroupName, @primnum, 1, "set");
