It can be done in a do while too.

Try "while(0 <= count)" instead. Or "while(cycle <= 6)" Or even
"while(count*2 + 5*M_PI - cycle, !(7 <= count))" if you are feeling
adventurous! 

:     {
:         printf("The value of count is %d\n");
:         count = count--;
:         cycle = cycle++;

: }


Right,
