Notes about the command format

• Words in <Angular brackets> are the details to be supplied by the user without the brackets.
  e.g. in todo <description>, todo is a parameter which can be used as todo Complete quiz 3.

• Extra details for commands that do not take in parameters (such as list) will be ignored.
  e.g. if the command specifies list few, it will be interpreted as list.
