    /// 5) A do-while loops is carried out one time automatically before the condition is checked. The whiles is only activated when considering whether the loop should be repeated.
    /// 6) The pre-test loop is a while loop because the test is done before execution. The post-test loop is a do-while loop because execution happens before the test.
