c++ loops

Signpost

hey have to do loops in a question ere. how do you run the "do" loop. is it no cout>> till after the "while" is written or what?

BrokenArrows

in c++ a do while loop is formatted like this:

do{
      // Code Here
      // Code Here
}while(condition here);

All the code inside the brackets is executed once before the while condition is checked.

Not sure what you mean by

is it no cout>> till after the "while" is written or what?

I think he means, does the 'do' block execute once before 'while' is evaluated... or does it ignore the 'do' block until it's had a chance to evaluate 'while'.
hmm

If you meant this.

The code in the do block is executed once without any conditions and then for every subsequent loop it is based on the while condition.

The difference between do-while and while is the following...

while(CONDITION)
{
//Code here gets executed, but the condition MUST be true for the loop to start, and must be true for the loop to do another iteration. Here the code may never be executed (Assuming initially the condition is false)
}

do
{
//Code here gets executed regardless of whether the condition is initially true or false (i.e. the code will ALWAYS get executed at least once), but the code will not loop again unless the condition is true after each iteration.
}
while(CONDITION)

And another thing talk properly and dont use 'y' instead of 'why'
