The Ingredient Class
Overview: In your final project, you will create a program that will help you manage a collection of items. To complete this program, you will implement two
classes: one for the main recipe item and one for the entire collection. If you decide to be more adventurous, you can make an additional class for the most
important subcomponent of your main recipe item class.
Prompt: Your Ingredient class will model the details of individual ingredients in a recipe. Based on Stepping Stone Labs Two and Three, you will create an
Ingredient class and give it the basic attributes: name, amount, unit of measure, and calories. Additionally, you will add code to validate the data type of the user
input.
This Ingredient class will be modified for the submission of your final RecipeManager application; however, it should be functional code that accepts user input
for each variable.
Specifically, the following critical elements of the final project must be addressed:
I. Data Types: Your Ingredient class should properly employ each of the following data types that meet the scenario’s requirements where necessary:
A. Utilize numerical data types that represent quantitative values for variables and attributes in your class.
B. Utilize strings that represent a sequence of characters needed as a value in your class.
C. Utilize inline comments directed toward software engineers for the ongoing maintenance of your program that explain your choices of data
types selected for your program.
II. Algorithms and Control Structure: Your final program should properly employ each of the following control structures as required or defined by the
scenario where necessary:
A. Utilize expressions or statements that ca
y out appropriate actions or that make appropriate changes to your program’s state as represented in
your program’s variables.
B. Employ the appropriate conditional control structures that enable choosing between options in your program.
C. Utilize inline comments directed toward software engineers for the ongoing maintenance of your program that explain your choices of data
types selected for your program.

The Recipe Class
Overview: In your final project, you will create a program that will help you manage a collection of recipes. The Recipe class you build for this milestone will hold
all the details of the recipe, the methods to create a new recipe, and a method to print a recipe. In your final project submission, this class will also contain a
custom method to add a new feature. In your submission for Milestone Two, you will include commented out pseudocode for this method.

Prompt: In this milestone, you submit the final project version of your Recipe class. Your submission should include the Recipe.java file and a Recipe_Test.java
file.

Your Recipe class should include the following items:

 Instance variables: recipeName, servings, recipeIngredients, and totalRecipeCalories
 Accessors and mutators for the instance variables
 Constructors
 A printRecipe() method
 A createNewRecipe() method to build a recipe from user input
 Pseudocode for the custom method selected from the list in Stepping Stone Lab Five

Your Recipe_Test.java file containing a main() method that:

 Uses a constructor to create a new recipe
 Accesses the printRecipe() method to print the formatted recipe
 Invokes the createNewRecipe() method to accept user input

Specifically, the following critical elements of the final project are addressed:

I. Data Types: Your Recipe class should properly employ each of the following data types that meet the scenario’s requirements where necessary:
A. Utilize appropriate numerical and string data types to represent values for variables and attributes in your program.
B. Populate a list or a
ay that allows the management of a set of values as a single unit in your program.

II. Algorithms and Control Structure: Your Recipe class should properly employ each of the following control structures as required or defined by the
scenario where necessary:
A. Utilize expressions or statements that ca
y out appropriate actions or that make appropriate changes to your program’s state as represented in
your program’s variables.
B. Employ the appropriate conditional control structures that enable choosing between options in your program.
C. Utilize iterative control structures that repeat actions as needed to achieve the program’s goal.


III. Methods: Your Recipe class should properly employ each of the following aspects of method definition as determined by the scenario’s requirements
where necessary:
A. Use formal parameters that provide local variables in a function’s definition.
B. Use actual parameters that send data as arguments in function calls.
C. Create both value-returning and void functions to be parts of expressions or stand-alone statements in your program.
D. Invoke methods that access the services provided by an object.
E. Describe a user-defined method that provides custom services for an object.
F. Create unit tests that ensure validity of the methods.

IV. Classes: Construct classes for your program that include the following as required by the scenario where necessary:
A. Include attributes that allow for encapsulation and information hiding in your program.
B. Include appropriate methods that provide an object’s behaviors.

V. Documentation: Utilize inline comments directed toward software engineers for the ongoing maintenance of your program that explain the decisions
you made in the construction of the classes in your program.
