Your instructions for assignment 6 states that the empty prefix matches any
word. Does this mean that if the command sent is a space it should match all
commands?
It doesn't. The empty prefix contains no characters; a prefix consisting of a
space contains a character (the space character) and is different from the
empty prefix. The space prefix would match all those commands that begin with
a space charactter (which, given the whay commands are defined for this
problem, don't exist).
