do-while loop in python

Feb 19th, 2006

Hi.....I am a newbie...really confused with do while loop in python. Does it even exist?

 J=[]
    do:
        finished = "false"
        while finished != "true":
            finished="true"
            for j in xrange(len(lis2)):
                  cenP2 = G[i+G0]
                   if ((cenP2 == 0) & (sigma2 > 0)  
                          J.append(1)
                          finished = "false"
                          print 3 # test code never gets here
                   else:
                          finished="true"
                         print 4

Sorry, I left out a few details caz its not important and just takes up space. My point is....how do I do this? I know this is not right, but is there a way?

Thanks a lot .....

No, there is no "do ... while" loop in Python. A properly constructed while loop can do the same.

If you have any problems, give us a simplified idea of what you want to accomplish. We will be glad to help!

May 'the Google' be with you!
