programming (Or "do loop") A
loop construct found in many
imperative programming languages which repeatedly executes
some instructions while a condition is true.
condition may be tested with a "while" or "until"
keyword.
In constrast to a
while loop, the "loop body" is executed
once before the condition is tested. This is useful when the
condition depends on the action of the loop body. In the
following BASIC loop "Hello" is printed once despite the fact
that the condition is false;
i = 2
repeat
print "Hello"
i = i+1
until i@#0
