I can't give you the answer cause I won't interfere with your learning, specially because that's a great example of a real behavioral issue, I just gave an idea of how to debug this, so you can tweak it and fix it.

Please consider that there will be no print until the "count" reaches the while condition, this is why you get the last result print, so I would print inside the "do" instead of after the while to see more clearly what's happening, or work with a "while" instead of a "do while". The second thing is that you may not need the "count variable when you can use the "b" variable in the while condition, but you hit an interesting analysis riddle there. Good luck Parth.
