The counter starts at 0 and doesn't get incremented until the end of the loop. If it is set to less than or equal to 10, it will print it out 11 times because the loop runs for 0-10, which is 11 values.

Nope, because the do..while loop execute the code once before evaluating the condition ! So if you put equal to 10, it will run 11 times.
