Question

I was wondering how I could pass a string that I made with javascript into a code block in razor. Given the few lines of simple js below:

var k=0;
var str1 = 'Model.FeaturedItems[';
var str2 = '].SubHeadline.ToString();';
var query = str1 + k +str2;

How would I then pass the string query into a code block? something like this:

                   alert("@"+query);

should print the result of that line of code.
EDIT:
Basically I want to execute this code: Model.FeaturedItems[0].SubHeadline.ToString(); and do something with the result in jquery. However I keep getting a syntax error trying the above.

javascript works on client and razor on server, you trying execute client code on server. Just use c# in code blocks:

C# code:

@{
    int k = 0; 
    var query = Model.FeaturedItems[k].SubHeadline.ToString(); 
}

On client @query will contain some data, if it is in razor view:

<script type="text/javascript">
    alert(@query); 
<script>
