Using the do while Loop for Iteration

Let's consider the do-while loop. This loop is similar to the while loop but has a key distinction.

while	do-while
Executes code block after the condition check.	Executes code block before the condition check.

Syntax

The do-while loop begins with the do keyword, encloses the code block within curly braces {}, and concludes with the while keyword followed by the condition in parentheses () without the need for an additional code block:

js

Here's an example:


              123456
            
let a = 0;

do {
  console.log(a);
  a++;
} while (a <= 3 && a >= 1);

At the outset, the variable a was initialized to 0, and the condition a >= 1 was evaluated after the a++ operation.

The code block within the do is guaranteed to be executed at least once:


              123456789
            
// `while` loop
while (false) {
  console.log("while"); // Not executed
}

// `do-while` loop
do {
  console.log("do-while"); // Executed 1 time
} while (false);

The do-while loop is particularly useful when you need to prompt the user for input at least once and continue until the user enters valid data or meets a specific condition.

Everything was clear?
