1.2.4.1: The while and do while statements
The while loop is simpler than the for loop:
-
while (condition) body_statement
The body_statement --- very oten a compound statement enclosed in curly braces --- executes over and over until the condition becomes false. If the condition is false to begin with, body_statement never executes.
Occasionally, you want the body_statement to execute and set the condition before it is tested for the first time. In this case, use the do while statement:
-
do { body_statement_A; body_statement_B; ...etc... } while (condition);
