An inconsistency that I have been able to notice is this:
someone suggests to remedy the absence of the do-while with:
while True:
...
if condition:
break
the problem arises if the while has an else of its own because the break
not only blocks the while loop but will also ignore the relative else.
I will try to make my doubt clearer:
if the only way to terminate a 'while True' loop is by using the 'break'
statement, why is it allowed to add the 'else' statement which will only
contain dead code?
while True:
break
else:
print('dead code')
