1.2 while Loop
public class WhileLoop { public static void main (String args []) { int count = 1; while(count < 6) { System.out.println(count); count++; } } }
1.3 do while Loop
import java.util.Scanner; public class DoWhile { public static void main (String args []) { Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); do { System.out.println("Are we there yet?"); }while(!scan.nextLine().equals("yes")); System.out.println("Good!"); } }
