Remove the @ and prefix with a semicolon ie.

intVariable += item.MyNumberOfInteres;

You replace parenthesis with curly brackets and add a trailing semicolon:

@(intVariable += item.MyNumberOfInteres)

becomes:

@{ intVariable += item.MyNumberOfInteres; }

This being said you shouldn't be doing things like this in a view. If you need to do it, this simply means that your view model is not adapted to your view. So adapt it. This kind of information should have been directly integrated in the view model and calculated in the controller.

Remember: the view is there only to display data that it is being passed from the controller under the form of a view model. If a view begins to calculate variables and stuff it no longer resembles to a view but spaghetti code.
