This project demonstrates the unique behavior of the Do-While Loop in Java. Unlike a standard while loop, the do-while structure ensures that the code block is executed at least once because the exit condition is checked only after the iteration is complete.

The project simulates a game startup sequence where data loading is initiated regardless of the version check status.

Task 52: Implement a post-condition loop that executes once even if the exit condition is immediately met.

Requirements:

• Variable int gameVersion initialized to 10.
• Use do-while loop for "Loading data..." message.
• Include informative console output: "gameVersion: " + gameVersion.
• Add a post-loop message explaining why the execution stopped.
• Ensure the loop condition (gameVersion != 10) terminates the loop after the first run.

• Guaranteed Execution: Using the do block to force initial logic processing.
• Post-Iteration Validation: Evaluating loop continuity after state output.
• User Feedback: Utilizing string concatenation for descriptive console logs.

• Logic Flow: The program enters the do block immediately. It prints the loading status and the current gameVersion (10). Then, it evaluates 10 != 10. Since this is false, the loop exits.
• Control Clarity: Adding a final System.out.println after the loop clearly illustrates the transition from the iterative block to the main program flow once the condition fails.
• ⚠️ Clean Code Warning: In production, do-while is often replaced by a while loop with an initial state setup to improve readability. However, it remains the standard for "process-then-check" scenarios.

• Informative Logging: Clearly shows the state of variables during the loop.
• Logic Demonstration: Proves the "execute-first, check-later" nature of do-while.
• Flow Traceability: Explicitly notifies the user when and why the process stops.

Loading data...
gameVersion: 10
Data loading stopped because the loop condition is not met!
