How do you wrap incremented numbers

This can’t be that hard but I can’t find it anywhere.

I want to increment a number between 1-10, and if it increments to 11 it just wraps back to 1 instead. I’ve been doing it manually with if statements, and there has to be an easier way.

I think it’s called modulo, use a percentage symbol wraps the number :

#pragma strict

function Start() 
{
	for ( var i : int = 0; i < 50; i ++ )
	{
		Debug.Log( i + " index : wrapped by 10 = " + i % 10 );
	}
}

so here the example is

i % 10
