do ... while loop

Posted on 07th June 2013

The do ... while loop is very similar to the while loop except that the condition is checked at the end of the loop. In case of do ... while loops the set of statements are executed at least once whereas in a while loop the statements may not be executed at all if the condition is false initially.

do ... while loops are written in the form

do
{
	statements;
}
while (condition)

The statements within curly braces are executed once and then the condition is evaluated. The loop will then repeat until the condition is False or 0

Example

Here is an example of a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 10 using do ... while loop.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int num;
num=1;
do {
	printf("%d \\n",num);
	num++;
} while (num <= 10);

return 0;
}
