How many times will the following loop execute?

The question is "How many times will the following loop execute?"

int i = 1; do { printf("looping"); } while ( i < 1 ) ;

Does this execute once because the printf statement is called before the while condition is?

You got it. The do...while loop basically turns the while loop on it's head because there are certain situations where you want the loop to execute at least once before the condition is met.
