Looping with the while statement

- Create a new folder and console application project named
IterationStatementsand add it to the workspace. - Type the following code inside the
Mainmethod:int x = 0; while (x < 10) { WriteLine(x); x++; } - Run the console application and view the results, which should be the numbers 0 to 9, as shown in the following output:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Looping with the do statement
The do statement is like while, except the Boolean expression is checked at the bottom of the block instead of the top, which...
