Using C# and Visual Studio, design and implement a standalone command line application that
fulfils the following requirements:
1. The user shall be able to enter the details for a single recipe:
a. The number of ingredients.
b. For each ingredient: the name, quantity, and unit of measurement. For example, one
tablespoon of sugar.
c. The number of steps.
d. For each step: a description of what the user should do.
2. The software shall display the full recipe, including the ingredients and steps, in a neat
format to the user.
3. The user shall be able to request that the recipe is scaled by a factor of 0.5 (half), 2
(double), or 3 (triple). All the ingredient quantities shall be changed accordingly when the
recipe is displayed. For example, one tablespoon of sugar will become two tablespoons of
sugar if the factor is 2.
4. The user can request that the quantities be reset to the original values.
5. The user shall be able to clear all the data to enter a new recipe.
6. The software shall not persist the user data between runs. The data shall only be stored in
memory while the software is running.
Non-functional requirements:
1. You are required to use internationally acceptable coding standards. Include
comprehensive comments explaining variable names, methods, and the logic of
programming code.
2. You are required to use classes.
3. Store the ingredients and steps in arrays.
