t. Axbasic executes these two lines again and again until the <strong>count</strong> reaches 5. At that point, the loop stops.</p>
<p>There is an important difference in the way DO loops and WHILE loops behave. The lines inside a DO loop are executed at least once; the lines inside a WHILE loop might never be executed, as in the following example.</p>
<pre><code>    LET count = 10

    WHILE count &lt;= 5
        LET count = count + 1
        PRINT count
    LOOP

    PRINT "Finished!"
    END
</code></pre>
