\section{Scope of Work}
There are five chapters in this project. Below is a description of each chapter's focus:
The thesis, problem statement, and work's purpose are introduced in Chapter one. The second Chapter discusses the literature review, which is a discussion and evaluation of prior works, studies, and theories relevant to the project. The literature review gives context for this work and specifies its direction. The methods for conducting research are covered in Chapter three. It provides a thorough explanation of the methodology employed to carry out this project. The findings and discussions from this research are presented in chapter four. The work's conclusion and recommendations are included in Chapter five.
\textbf{NB: Can be done per your perefence}
