Compare Do-While with While Statements?

Answer:

A Do-While loop looks like this:

do {

loop body

} while (condition);

and a While loop looks like this:

while (condition) {

loop body

}

The main difference is that the loop body is always run once in the Do-While loop, then the condition is checked to see if the loop should keep running. In a While loop, the condition is checked first, and it will not run the loop body at all if the condition is false.
