Question 314 of 513
1Z0-829 Controlling Program Flow Practice Question
Which loop construct guarantees that the body executes at least once?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the do-while loop with the while loop, mistakenly thinking that a while loop can also guarantee at least one execution if the condition is true, but the key distinction is that only the do-while loop executes the body before checking the condition.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
do-while loop
The do-while loop is the only loop construct in Java that guarantees the body executes at least once because the condition is evaluated after the loop body. This post-test loop design ensures that regardless of the initial condition value, the body runs before any check occurs.
