- Todo is a simple task with title only;
- Event is a task with a date and a time range (e.g.
/at 2022-01-04 1700-1925); - Deadline is a task with due date and time (e.g.
/by 2022-01-20 945).
Operations
Besides creation of the above mentioned tasks, Duke provides basic functionalities to manipulate the tasks, such as:
- list all the tasks
- list all the command keywords
- mark one or multiple tasks done at once
- delete one or multiple tasks done at once
- find tasks that contains certain keywords
