Perform an action multiple times based on a boolean condition, checked after the first action (DO .. WHILE)
Simulate rolling a die until you get a six. Produce random numbers, printing them until a six is rolled. An example output might be 
ruby
ruby
ruby 1.9
cpp C++/CLI .NET 2.0
fsharp .NET 4
clojure
groovy
csharp .Net 1.1 or higher
