Emulate a do-while loop in Python

Python do while loop: Since, python does not support do-while, here we will emulate a do-while loop and will implement similar in Python.

Python as a language doesn't support the do-while loop. However, we can have a workaround to emulate the do-while loop.

The syntax for do-while is as follows,

    do {
          loop statements;
    } while (condition);

Consider the following example implementation of 'do-while' in Java,

public class DoWhile {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int i = 5;
        do {
            System.out.println("Welcome to Include Help");
            i++;
        } while (i < 10);
    }
}

Output

Welcome to Include Help
Welcome to Include Help
Welcome to Include Help
Welcome to Include Help
Welcome to Include Help

The above example can be emulated in python as follows,

i=5
while True:
  print("Welcome to Include Help")
  i = i +1
  if(i>10):
    break

Output

Welcome to Include Help
Welcome to Include Help
Welcome to Include Help
Welcome to Include Help
Welcome to Include Help
Welcome to Include Help
