- Click
Open
. - Select the project directory, and click
OK
. - If there are any further prompts, accept the defaults.
- Click
- Configure the project to use JDK 11 (not other versions) as explained in here.
In the same dialog, set the Project language level field to theSDK default
option. - After that, locate the
src/main/java/Duke.java
file, right-click it, and chooseRun Duke.main()
(if the code editor is showing compile errors, try restarting the IDE). If the setup is correct, you should see something like the below as the output:Hello from ____ _ | _ \ _ _| | _____ | | | | | | | |/ / _ \ | |_| | |_| | < __/ |____/ \__,_|_|\_\___|

todo
, deadline
and event

todo
s are the simplest task to add as they do not require you to add in a start/end time, only a description of the task e.g.todo lunch
-
deadline
s, as the name suggests, are tasks which have a deadline. The due date or time is indicated after a/
e.g.lunch/12pm
-
event
s are tasks which have a duration, from a start time to an end time e.g. `lunch/12pm/1pm -
list
shows you the tasks which you have added. You can view them by simply typinglist
-
mark
checks off the task which you have completed. e.g.mark 3
-
find
searches your list of tasks to find those which have a certain ketword present. e.g.find lunch
-
delete
removes one of the tasks in your list e.g.delete 2
