difference between do and while loops
Please support our C advertiser: Programming Forums - DaniWeb Sister Site

What's the main difference between while(){ } and do{ }while() loops? From looking at it, it looks like the former evaluates before it performs the iteration and the latter does the evaluation after each iteration... is that correct? Why would I pick one over the other? Is it mainly just a readability thing? Like
rather than starting fail as true?

Into the midnight giving it to you, I don't know it just feels right.

if you want do run a loop at least once, it is better to use do-while loop.
lets explain more. look this sample code:
in this example if you dont use do-while loop structure you need file once before loop and also read in loop
as you say "it is mainly just a readability thing"
