Command Extractor

Iteration 1

You are building a text adventure where the player can enter a command made up of a verb and a noun. For example, go north or take sword. You need to extract the verb and noun from the command so you can process it. The verb will always be a single word and the noun can be one or more words.

Examples

Command	Verb	Noun
go north	go	north
take sword	take	sword
use magic wand	use	magic wand

Your function should accept a string and return an object with two properties: verb and noun.

Iteration 2

You have realised that it is tedious to use 1 item at a time, you want to update the command to allow for a quantity of items to be used. For example, use 3 magic wands or use 1 magic wand. This quantity is optional and if not provided should default to 1, the quantity will always be numeric and a whole number.

Examples

Command	Verb	Noun	Quantity
use magic wand	use	magic wand	1
use 3 magic wands	use	magic wands	3
use 1 magic wand	use	magic wand	1

Your function should accept a string and return an object with three properties: verb, noun and quantity.
