    I could be wrong, but I think do-while and while were part of the original C language, and basically C++ just inherited them.

    I'm with some of the other guys.

    Each is useful in different contexts. If you don't need to go into the loop at least once, why bother.

    Because sometimes you only want to go into the loop if a certain condition is true; thus, with a while loop, you can cut out an extra if statement which might make your code uglier.
    Just Google It. √

    The poll is now closed.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
