Java do while loop example
Here is a simple java do while loop example to print numbers from 5 to 10.



package com.journaldev.javadowhileloop;

public class JavaDoWhileLoop {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int i = 5;
do {
System.out.println(i);
i++;
} while (i <= 10);
}
}

do while true java
We can create an infinite loop by passing boolean expression as true in the do while loop.


Here is a simple do while java infinite loop example.


package com.journaldev.javadowhileloop;

public class DoWhileTrueJava {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
do {
System.out.println("Start Processing inside do while loop");
// look for a file at specific directory
// if found, then process it, such as inserting rows into database
System.out.println("End Processing of do while loop");

Thread.sleep(5 * 1000);
} while (true);
}
}
Note that you will have to manually quit the application to stop it, using Ctrl+C if program is executed in terminal. If you have executed program in Eclipse IDE then there is a red color button to terminate the program.

do while vs while loop
The only time you should use do while loop is when you want to execute the statements inside loop at least once, even though condition expression returns false. Otherwise it’s always better to use while loop.

Java while loop looks more cleaner than do while loop.

That’s all for java do while loop. You should also look into java for loop and java continue statement.
