Get the index of each item in a liquid for loop

Question

If I'm looping through a collection with a for statement, is there a way to output the index value of each item as well.
Similar to how we have {tag_counter} in regular BC webapps, but I'd like to get the index value of any collection data.
for example:
{% for item in myCollection %}
    1. {{item.name}}
{% endfor %}
But I want the "1." to be the actual index of the item in the object/array.
In the docs there is a filter called 'size' which may do the job but I don't know how to use it as there is no example shown.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Liam.
As I noted in the question, I am using the docs, but these docs can be a little overwhelming when first exploring them (which I am).
There are many sections where things could be in and often I'm not entirely sure what I need to look under... case in point - I would not have thought rendering the index value would be under 'Logic Tags'.
Additionally, the docs have broken links, pages fail to load and they are littered with typos and missing info.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful of the docs and they are a great resource, but please don't assume everything is easy if it's documented. Some of us are still learning and are not as familiar with the docs as yourself. I spent a lot of time searching the docs and trying to crack this myself before posting here.
