I have an assignment I am working on that requires us to create a recipe manager and I am working on the ingredient class. here is what we have to do:

- Create the necessary class attributes/variables as mentioned in the guidelines (nameOfIngredient, ingredientAmount, unitOfMeasurement, numberOfCaloriesPer, totalCalories). This is based on the ideas from Stepping Stone Lab Two.

- Create "getter" and "setter" methods for each of these variables so that the variable values can be retrieved and modified.

- In the main method you want to test the attributes and methods of your class by prompting the user to enter in each of these attributes of an Ingredient.

- You should also use branching to validate each of the user's input to verify it is of the correct data type and also within the correct range

My code looks like the following, I know there are issues with my branching and I can't figure out what I have done wrong. Can anyone help me clear this up so I can submit my assignment?
