##Viewing your tasks Duke offers a few ways you can view the tasks in your list.
######List This will display your entire list, ordered in the order in which you entered them.
Use the command: list
######Search Duke allows you to search your list and show you the tasks that match a keyword.
Use the command: search keyword
Note that the keyword need not be one word. However, it will be treated as a single search term. For example, "search do project" will search the list for tasks with have a description matching "do project".
######Date This will display all the deadline and events that occur on the specified date.
Use the command: date yyyy-mm-dd
This command ignores the time at which the tasks occur.
##Closing the program Once you're done with Duke for the time being, use the command bye to close the program.
Duke saves your data everytime you make changes to the list, as well as when it closes. So don't worry about your data being lost!
