Candy Vending Machine
The Project is about a normal vending machine that serves snacks and sweets.
After having a long hard-working day, you always need your quality time and it's the best when it comes to "Netflix and Chill"
It's inspired by the slogan of Netflix that represents the "Chill" part and the whole idea of having a great movie with your favorite snack.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
