Working with booleans
As you build your recipe scaler project, you need to track which ingredients you already have at home versus which ones you need to buy at the store. Booleans are perfect for storing this yes/no information. You've already created variables for some ingredients in your recipe, and now you'll add boolean variables to track their availability.
