Do While or While

[Kid Programmer]

Is there a difference between a do while loop and a while loop or are they different ways of accomplishing the same thing.

[Laharl]

They are almost identical. However, in a do-while loop, the code is executed once before the loop termination condition is checked. In a while loop, the condition is checked first.

The next question is often: which should I use to do X? My rule of thumb is try the while loop first. Situations where the do-while loop is a better choice are not as common.

While --> Each time it checks the condition before executing the block of code.
do..While -----> Executes the block of code and checks the condition.
Syntax
while(expression)

}
while(expression)
