func main() {       var duck Duck       capabilities := Capabilities{              StrokeBehavior: Foot{},              EatBehavior:    Bill{},              strokes:        5,       }

Our duck's first set of ponds will consist of two ponds. Each supplies only one bug. The first pond requires three strokes to reach the other side. The second pond requires two strokes:

ponds := []Pond{       {BugSupply: 1, StrokesRequired: 3},       {BugSupply: 1, StrokesRequired: 2},}duck.SwimAndEat(&capabilities, &capabilities.strokes, ...
