Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
do-while loop
Conditionally executes a statement repeatedly (at least once).

[edit] Syntax
attr (optional) do statement while ( expression );
|
|||||||||
| attr | - | (since C++11) any number of attributes |
| expression | - | an expression |
| statement | - | a statement (typically a compound statement) |
[edit] Explanation
When control reaches a do statement, its statement will be executed unconditionally.
Every time statement finishes its execution, expression will be evaluated and contextually converted to bool. If the result is true, statement will be executed again.
If the loop needs to be terminated within statement, a break statement can be used as terminating statement.
If the current iteration needs to be terminated within statement, a continue statement can be used as shortcut.
[edit] Notes
As part of the C++ forward progress guarantee, the behavior is undefined if a loop that is not a trivial infinite loop(since C++26) without observable behavior does not terminate. Compilers are permitted to remove such loops.

[edit] Example
#include <algorithm> #include <iostream> #include <string> int main() { int j = 2; do // compound statement is the loop body { j += 2; std::cout << j << ' '; } while (j < 9); std::cout << '\n'; // common situation where do-while loop is used std::string s = "aba"; std::sort(s.begin(), s.end()); do std::cout << s << '\n'; // expression statement is the loop body while (std::next_permutation(s.begin(), s.end())); }
Output:
4 6 8 10 aab aba baa
