//when the water temp is 80.5, goofus and gallant swim for the same amount of time
//when the water temp is 78, gallant doesnt get in the water at all, while gallant gets in for a minute
//gallant seems to check the water before he gets in
//goofus jumps in without checking the water temp
//the difference betwheen a while loop and a do while loop is that the do while loop will run once without checking the parameters of the following while; while loops will not run unless parameters are true
//pretest loop = while, post test = do while
