Class Command

java.lang.Object
  Command

public class Command
extends Object

This class is part of the "World of Zuul" application. "World of Zuul" is a very simple, text based adventure game. This class holds information about a command that was issued by the user. A command currently consists of two strings: a command word and a second word (for example, if the command was "take map", then the two strings obviously are "take" and "map"). The way this is used is: Commands are already checked for being valid command words. If the user entered an invalid command (a word that is not known) then the command word is . If the command had only one word, then the second word is .
