while: A loop in Java that does not have a built-in counter. You use a while loop when you don’t know ahead of time how many items you have to process. When you do you, you use a for loop. The while does the test at the top of the loop. the do-while does the test at the bottom of the loop, and hence executes the loop body at least once.
