Answer:

"while" statement checks the condition at the beginning of a loop to see whether the next loop iteration should occur. "do while" statement checks the condition at the end of a loop to see whether the next iteration of a loop should occur. "do while" statement will always execute the loop body at least once.

Do while .. first does some code and then checks for a condition. do-while is a exit controlled loop. and While first validates the condition before processing any code in the loop. while is an entry controlled loop. This is the major difference between the two!
