  1.2.4.1 The while and do while statements 
The while loop is simpler than the for loop:
 
 |  | while (condition) body_statement
 | 
 
The body_statement -- very oten a compound statement enclosed
in curly braces -- executes over and over until the condition
becomes false.  If the condition is false to begin with,
body_statement never executes. 
Occasionally, you want the body_statement to execute and set the
condition before it is tested for the first time.  In
this case, use the do while statement: 
 |  | do {
  body_statement_A;
  body_statement_B;
  ...etc...
} while (condition);
