♤♢☞ 𝐊𝐢𝐢𝐛𝐨 𝐆𝐡𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥 ☜♢♤ no, without the negation it would be the equivalent of a do-until loop, implemented in visual basic and perl afaik. This variant maybe is a better semantic equivalent to do-while: while True: # some code if 《condition》: continue else: break If the condition holds, we continue iteration, else (=if 《condition》 is false) we break

The best equivalent imo is to use while loop with break. Note that the condition is negated. Cpp example: do { // some code } while 《condition》; Python equvalent: while True: # some code if not 《condition》: break

If the 'if' statement is the last one in the loop, the "continue" would be redundant.

python has a while loop not do while

I know Sonic, it was just to show the equivalence in another way and emphasize the need for the condition to be false in order to break
