Control statements and loops

Question

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int c = 5, no = 10;
    do {
        no /= c;
    } while(c--);

    printf ("%d\n", no);

    return 0;

}

Please help me trace the while loop. I think it stops at one stage, but that is not the case, It executes even when c=0,hence gives runtime error.
Please explain

When C is 1, the loop will continue after decrementing 1, and integer division by 0 has undefined behaviour. — George, Feb 17 '18 at 11:33

change 8th line while(c--) to while(--c) c-- will check the condition and then it will decrease the value of C variable
