Java do-while loop

Do-While Loop statement in Java : Exit Controlled Loop in Java

1. In java “Do-while” is iteration statements like for loop and while loop.
2. It is also called as “Loop Control Statement“.
3. “Do-while Statement” is Exit Controlled Loop because condition is check at the last moment.
4. Irrespective of the condition , control enters into the do-while loop , after completion of body execution , condition is checked whether true/false. If condition is false then it will jump out of the loop.
5. Conditional Expression written inside while must return boolean value.
6. In do-while loop body gets executed once whatever may be the condition but condition must be true if you need to execute body for second time.

*Note : Semicolon at the end of while is mandatory otherwise you will get compile error.

Live Example 1 : Printing Numbers

class DoWhile {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    int n = 5;
    do
     {
     System.out.println("Sample : " + n);
     n--;
     }while(n > 0);
}

Output :

Sample : 5
Sample : 4
Sample : 3
Sample : 2
Sample : 1
Sample : 0
