from One-off statements to looping statements - methods?

Questions & Answers
1

I constantly find myself needing to make a function that needs to do something - ONCE - at the very beginning, and then keep looping through all the rest of it. So my question is - what are possible approaches of programming that?

you do something once, then proceed to continously looping something else.

do
{
    // This code is run AT LEAST once.
} while (someCondition);

Note that this doesn't appear to work in javascript.

Eric5h5s suggestion is:

while (true) 
{
    // something
    if (!condition) break;
}
