All Implemented Interfaces and Traits:

LoopingStatement
```
public class DoWhileStatement
extends Statement
implements LoopingStatement
```
Represents a do { ... } while (condition) loop in Groovy. A do-while loop executes its body unconditionally on the first iteration, then evaluates a BooleanExpression after each iteration to decide whether to repeat. The loop body always executes at least once, differentiating it from a WhileStatement.
