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 "4,2,1,2,6"

ruby
# Ruby has no DO..WHILE construct. Need to write it as a WHILE
rnd = 0
while (rnd != 6)
rnd = rand(6)+1
print rnd
print "," if (rnd!=6)
end
DiskEdit
ruby
begin
rnd = rand(6)+1
print rnd
print "," if rnd!=6
end while rnd != 6

ruby 1.9
# This uses Enumerators, ad it becomes almost functional style...

games = Enumerator.new do |yielder|
yielder.yield rand(6) + 1 while true
end

puts games.take_while {|roll| roll != 6}.join(",")
