Can you guess the output of the following code snippet?

int i=10;

    i--;
}while( i >= 10 );

Remember : The condition of a do-while loop is checked After the code body is executed once.

Now that you have some idea of basic syntax, let's delve into some of the most relevant and commonly used data types which will help you to develop programs in Java.
