A do...while loop is similar to a while loop, except that a do...while loop is guaranteed to execute at least one time.
Syntax:
The syntax of a do...while loop is:
do { //Statements }while(Boolean_expression);
Notice that the Boolean expression appears at the end of the loop, so the statements in the loop execute once before the Boolean is tested.
If the Boolean expression is true, the control jumps back up to do statement, and the statements in the loop execute again. This process repeats until the Boolean expression is false.
Flow Diagram
Example:
public class Test { public static void main(String args[]){ int x = 10; do{ System.out.print("value of x : " + x ); x++; System.out.print("\n"); }while( x < 20 ); } }
This would produce the following result:
value of x : 10 value of x : 11 value of x : 12 value of x : 13 value of x : 14 value of x : 15 value of x : 16 value of x : 17 value of x : 18 value of x : 19
