/// yes, gallant and goofus swim for the same amount of time
/// Galant does not swim and goofus does not swim as long
/// Gallant checks the water first
/// Goofus dives right in
/// a while loop repeats a process under certain conditions. A do-while loop runs a section of the program under any conditions then only continues to repeat that section of the program under certain conditions.
///the while loop is the pre-test loop, but the do-while loop is a post test loop because it runs the section of the program then only runs it again if it passes the "test"
