// 1. Gallant and Goofus swin for the same amount of time.
// 2. Goofus swims but Gallant does not swim.
// 3. Gallant checks the water temperature first.
// 4. Goofus dives in first.
// 5. The while loop starts after an condition is checked and is true. The do-while loop will execute the function once and then check the condition for the next loop.
// 6. The while loop is a pre-test loop and the do-while loop is a post-test loop.
