6.6. Do...Loop While Repetition Statement

The Do...Loop While repetition statement is similar to the While statement and Do While...Loop statement. In the While and Do While...Loop statements, the loop-continuation condition is tested at the beginning of the loop, before the body of the loop is performed. The Do...Loop While statement tests the loop-continuation condition after the loop body is performed; therefore, in a Do...Loop While statement, the loop body is always executed at least once. When a Do...Loop While statement terminates, execution continues with the statement after the Loop While clause. The program in Fig. 6.12 uses a Do...Loop While statement to output the values 1–5.
