Answer:

YES, because COUNT has a 5 stored in it, and:
COUNT <= 5
   ^
   |
   +----- holds a 5

is true because 5 is less than or equal to 5.

General form of the DO WHILE Statement

In general, the DO WHILE statement looks like this:

DO WHILE condition

  . . . loop body . . .

LOOP 

So far in these chapters the condition has tested if one number is less than or equal to another number. You can also test if one number is LESS THAN another number:

COUNT  <  5

This tests if COUNT is LESS THAN 5. Here is the program, slightly modified.

' Loop with LESS THAN test
'
LET COUNT = 0            'Statement 1
'
DO WHILE COUNT  < 5      'Statement 2
  PRINT COUNT            'Statement 3
  LET COUNT = COUNT + 1  'Statement 4
LOOP 
END

Now the DO WHILE lets execution into the loop body only if COUNT is less than (but not equal) to 5.

QUESTION 3:

Say that Statement 4 has just changed COUNT to 5. The LOOP statement sends execution back to the DO WHILE. Will the loop body execute again?
