Question

I’m new to .net MVC and Razor engine but I have been using PHP for a long time. I’m trying to do this PHP code in Razor:

var data = [
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < 50; ++$i) { 
  echo '[' . $i . ',' . sin($i) . ']';
  if ($i != 49)
    echo ',';
?>
],

I managed to do it using this, but it looks bad and complex for something so simple

var data = [
  @for(int i = 0; i < 50; ++i) {  
<text>[</text>@i<text>,</text>@Math.Sin(i)<text>]</text>if (i != 49) {<text>,</text>}
  } 
];

The problem is that [, ] and , are confused with Razor syntax and gives syntax errors, so I had to wrap them on <text> tags.

Is there a simpler/nicer way to do this? Maybe something like the PHP echo.

Thanks.

Use this:

@String.Format("[{0},{1}]", i, Math.Sin(i))

And for comma you can use String.Join() if you create array (String.Join Method )
