Lenny is a simple, text-based task management assistant.
It helps you add, list, search, and update tasks from the command line with an intuitive set of commands.

➕ Adding Tasks

Add new tasks to your list. Tasks can be of three types: todo, deadline, and event.

Each command creates a task and confirms it has been added successfully.

Example: todo <description>

Example: deadline <description> /by <date>

Example: event <description> /from <start> /to <end>

Expected outcome: A new task is added to your task list and displayed back to you.

Input: 
todo read book
Expected output: 
Got it. I've added this task:
[T][ ] read book
Now you have 1 task in the list.

Input:
deadline submit report /by 2025-09-30
Output:
Got it. I've added this task:
[D][ ] submit report (by: 2025-09-30)

Input:
event team meeting /from 2025-09-21 14:00 /to 2025-09-21 16:00
Output:
Got it. I've added this task:
[E][ ] team meeting (from: 2025-09-21 14:00 to: 2025-09-21 16:00)

🔝 Prioritizing Tasks

Assign a priority level (e.g., 1–5) to a task. In GUI, this is a window that pops after adding a task. In the CLI, you’ll be prompted to assign a priority once the task description has been accepted.

Example: priority <task number> <level>

Expected outcome: The task is updated with a priority indicator.

Input:
deadline project tasks /by Sunday 3pm
Output:
Enter task priority (1–5): 
Input:
3
Output:
Boom! Just added to your list:
[T][ ] go home
This task has priority level: 3
Now you have 3 tasks in the list.
