in a previous question to this quiz the while loop didn't run because the condition was (false), i thought it had to be (true) to run. But in this example it runs when (false)??

Given the code below, what will print out to the console?
do {
console.log('Hello');
} while (false)
console.log('Goodbye');
If so, this runs because in a do...while statement, the do always runs at least once before it checks the while statement. Had the while statement been true, it would run until the while statement became false due to a conditional statement in the while loop, or run Infinitely.
Is that the question? If not, please provide the question...
