Explanation

The COBOL PERFORM loop with the UNTIL clause executes the paragraph at least once and then tests the condition, which is the same behavior as a do-while loop in Java or C++. A for loop typically initializes and tests before execution, and a method is a completely different construct (a subprogram, not a loop).
