Setting the x y position of instantiated prefabs

using c#

 public Transform flag;
        	if(!triggered){
        					//Debug.Log(string_input.Length);
        
        for (int i = 0; i < string_input.Length; i++) 
        {Instantiate(cube,flag.transform.position,flag.transform.rotation);
        			
        					}
        					triggered = true;
        				}

currently those cloned gameobjects are on the same x and y position,
i would like to make it so that when the gameobjects is spawn for eg 5 objects, i named it 1,2,3,4,5.
it will spawn as 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 then 5.
with gameobject1 is on lets say position.x is 0 and position.y is 0,
and gameobject2 is on position.x 5 and position.y is 5 and so on to have a up down up down looking feel.

anyone knows how to go about doing it?
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

for (int i = 0; i < string_input.Length; i++)
{
GameObject go = Instantiate(cube);
go.name = (i+1).ToString();//
go.transform.position = new Vector3(i * 5, i * 5, 0);
}
