<center><h1>The DO keyword.</h1></center>
<hr>
The <b>do</b> keyword performs a simular function to
<a href="while.html">while</a>. Basicaly, it repeats a block of statements.
Here is an example of the syntax:
<pre>
main()
{
int i=5;
do
{
printf(" i is %d\n", i);
}
while(--i);
}
</pre>
The program result will look like this:
<pre>
i is 5
i is 4
i is 3
i is 2
i is 1
</pre>
The main difference between <b>do</b> and <a href=while.html>while</a> is
the time that expression is evaluated.
<ul>
<li><b>do</b> performs the first test AFTER the first iteration.
<li><b>while</b> performs the first test BEFORE the first iteration.
</ul>
