do...while Statement

---

The do...while statement processes a block of statements until a specified condition is met.

Syntax

do

{

statement_block;

} while (condition)

Placeholder	Description
statement_block	One or more statements to be executed within the loop
condition	An expression indicating the circumstances under which the loop should be repeated

Returns

Not applicable

Usage

The do statement processes the statement_block repeatedly until condition is met. Because condition appears at the end of the loop, condition is tested for only after the loop executes. For this reason, a do...while loop is always executed at least once before condition is checked.

Example

This example increments a value and prints the new value to the screen until the value reaches 100.

var value = 0;
do
{
   value++;
   Clib.sprintf(value);
} while( value < 100 );
