the primitive recursive functions all have algorithms that require

I meant 'do until' not 'do while' there.

Either would do, no? They differ slightly in behavior, but those
constructs are exactly equivalent in terms of computational strength.
Anything you can program in terms of the one you can program in terms of
the other.
