Count files existing in my current directory with extention .log. 1

[bhagabati]

I need to count files existing in my current directory with the file extention of *.log.* so that I can initialise using the loop like

x=0
while [ $x -lt $num ]
do
> $(eval echo \$$i).log.$x
x=`expr $x + 1`
done

How can I do it please give me a quick tips.

x=`ls -1 *.log | wc -l`

first option is "minus one"
second option is "minus lower case L"
