Project Steps:

Done

Download and install Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.
Download and install the .NET SDK.

Done

Open your chosen IDE (Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code).
Open a terminal in your IDE.
Type the following command to create a new console application:
```
dotnet new console -n NumberGuessingGame
```
Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd NumberGuessingGame
```

Done

Open the `Program.cs` file in your IDE.

Replace the existing code with the following:


using System;

namespace NumberGuessingGame
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Random random = new Random();
            int numberToGuess = random.Next(1, 101);
            int userGuess = 0;
            int guessCount = 0;

            Console.WriteLine("Welcome to the Number Guessing Game!");
            Console.WriteLine("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100. Can you guess what it is?");

            while (userGuess != numberToGuess)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Enter your guess:");
                userGuess = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
                guessCount++;

                if (userGuess > numberToGuess)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Too high! Try again.");
                }
                else if (userGuess < numberToGuess)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Too low! Try again.");
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine($"Congratulations! You've guessed the number in {guessCount} attempts.");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Save the file.

Done

In the terminal, type the following command to run your application:
```
dotnet run
```
Test the application by guessing the number and checking if the responses are correct.
