Expressions, Statements,
and Blocks The while statement evaluates expression, which must return a boolean value. If the expression evaluates to true, the while statement executes the statement(s) in the while block. The
Questions and Exercises while statement continues testing the expression and executing its block until the expression evaluates to false. Using the while statement to print the values from 1 through 10 can be

The if-then and if-then-
else Statements class WhileDemo {
The switch Statement public static void main(String[] args){
The while and do- int count = 1;
while Statements while (count < 11) {
The for Statement System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
count++;

Questions and Exercises
You can implement an infinite loop using the while statement as follows:

while (true){
// your code goes here
}

The Java programming language also provides a do-while statement, which can be expressed as follows:

do {
statement(s)
} while (expression);

The difference between do-while and while is that do-while evaluates its expression at the bottom of the loop instead of the top. Therefore, the statements within the do block are always
executed at least once, as shown in the following DoWhileDemo program:

class DoWhileDemo {
public static void main(String[] args){
int count = 1;
do {
System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
count++;
} while (count < 11);
}
}
