Usage

❗Important:

• Words in UPPER_CASE are the parameters to be supplied by the user. e.g. in todo TASKNAME, TASKNAME is a parameter which can be used as todo Buy iPad.
• The parameters can contain whitespaces (e.g. Buy iPad), and must be seperated from the command and the type specifiers (/by, /from, /to) by atleast 1 whitespace character from both sides. e.g. todoTASKNAME and deadline TASKNAME/byDATE are invalid, but deadline TASKNAME /by DATE is valid.
• Input date for tasks like event and deadline must follow the format DD/MM/YY HHMM with HHMM following the 24 hours format. e.g. 23/09/23 1800.
• Parameters have to be in the specified order, otherwise it will result in an invalid message. e.g. if the command specifies TASKNAME /by DEADLINE, > /by DEADLINE TASKNAME is invalid.
• Extraneous parameters for commands that do not take in parameters (such as list, bye and remind) will result in an invalid message.
• If you are using a PDF version of this document, be careful when copying and pasting commands that span multiple lines as space characters surrounding > line-breaks may be omitted when copied over to the application.
