What is the difference between the 'while' and 'do-while' loops in terms of their execution?
- The 'do-while' loop can only be used for iteration over arrays.
- The 'do-while' loop is not a valid loop construct in most programming languages.
- The 'while' loop always executes its code block at least once, while the 'do-while' loop may not execute it at all.
- The 'while' loop executes its code block in reverse order compared to the 'do-while' loop.
The 'while' loop and 'do-while' loop are both used for repetitive execution of a code block, but they differ in when the condition is checked. In a 'while' loop, the condition is checked before the loop body is executed. If the condition is false initially, the loop body may not execute at all. In a 'do-while' loop, the loop body is executed at least once before checking the condition. This guarantees that the code block will execute at least once, even if the condition is false.
