While vs. do while loops

What is an example of a situation where a do while loop would be more appropriate than a while loop? By my understanding, the only difference is that the former goes through at least one iteration while the latter does not necessarily do so

There is DO WHILE in Java? Never used it. A place where you want to run things at least once, is the program itself. A typical pattern is a loop that waits for input while a boolean is true.

use do while in case you need to ensure the loop will execute at least one time
