    Default How to repeat a while loop?

    I need my program to repeat the while loop if the student number = 0. How would you do this?

    class Main
    {
      public static void main( String args[] )
      {
        System.out.print("#Student Number:" );
        int student = BIO.getInt();
     
        System.out.print("#Coursework Mark:" );
        int coursework = BIO.getInt();
     
        System.out.print("#Exam Mark:" );
        int exam = BIO.getInt();
     
        while ( student > 0 )
        {
          double result = (double) (exam + coursework) / 2;
            System.out.print( "SN=");
            System.out.print( student );
            System.out.print( " EX=  ");
            System.out.print( exam );
            System.out.print( " CW=  ");
            System.out.print( coursework );
            System.out.print( " Mark =  ");
            System.out.println( result );
     
            System.out.print("#Student Number:" );
            student = BIO.getInt();
            System.out.print("#Coursework Mark:" );
            coursework = BIO.getInt();
            System.out.print("#Exam Mark:" );
            exam = BIO.getInt();
        }
    if ( student == 0)
    {
     
    }
      }
     
    }

    Can't you just do while(student >= 0)?
