{bf:[M-2] do -- do ... while (exp)}


{title:Syntax}

	{cmd:do} {it:stmt} {cmd:while (}{it:exp}{cmd:)}


	{cmd:do} {cmd:{c -(}}
		{it:stmts}
	{cmd:{c )-} while (}{it:exp}{cmd:)}


{p 4 4 2}
where {it:exp} must evaluate to a real scalar.


{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}
{cmd:do} executes {it:stmt} or {it:stmts} one or more times, until {it:exp} is
zero.


{title:Remarks}

{p 4 4 2}
One common use of {cmd:do} is to loop until convergence:


	{cmd}do {
		lasta = a
		a = get_new_a(lasta)
	} while (mreldif(a, lasta)>1e-10){txt}

{p 4 4 2}
Note that the loop is executed at least once, and that the conditioning 
expression is not executed until the loop's body has been executed.
