Looping is a feature in programming that helps run a set of instructions repeatedly based on a certain condition. Java programming language has three ways of doing loops. These ways are similar in function but differ in their syntax and when they check the condition.
One of these ways is called the do-while loop. It is like the while loop but with one difference. The do-while loop checks for the condition after running the statements, which makes it an exit control loop.
Here's how you write a do-while loop in Java:
do { // statements to be executed } while (condition);
The do-while loop starts by executing the statements, and there is no condition check the first time. After executing the statements and updating the variable values, the condition is checked for a true or false value. If it's true, the next iteration of the loop starts. When the condition becomes false, the loop stops running, and its life cycle ends.
It's important to note that the do-while loop will execute its statements at least once before any condition is checked. That's why it's called an exit control loop.
