Java While Loop Examples

Real-Life Examples

To demonstrate a practical example of the while loop, we have created a simple “countdown” program:

Example

int countdown = 3;

while (countdown > 0) {
  System.out.println(countdown);
  countdown--;
}

System.out.println("Happy New Year!!");

 

To demonstrate a practical example of the while loop combined with an if else statement, let’s say we play a game of Yatzy: Continue reading Java While Loop Examples

Java Do While Loop

The Do/While Loop

The do/while loop is a variant of the while loop. This loop will execute the code block once, before checking if the condition is true, then it will repeat the loop as long as the condition is true.

Syntax

do {
  // code block to be executed
}
while (

condition

);

The example below uses a do/while loop. The loop will always be executed at least once, even if the condition is false, because the code block is executed before the condition is tested: Continue reading Java Do While Loop
