Program Code

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
	int j=0;
	do
	{
		printf("Value of variable j is: %d\n", j);
		j++;
	}while (j<=3);
	return 0;
}

Output

Value of variable j is: 0
Value of variable j is: 1
Value of variable j is: 2
Value of variable j is: 3

Explanation

A do while loop is similar to while loop with one exception that it executes the statements inside the body of do-while before checking the condition. On the other hand in the while loop, first the condition is checked and then the statements in while loop are executed. So you can say that if a condition is false at the first place then the do while would run once, however the while loop would not run at all.

How to learn from this program

First read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.

Practice suggestion

After understanding this example, try to rewrite the same program without looking at the code. Then change some values or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and keeps learners engaged on the page for longer.
