Explanation of Solution

From the viewpoint of large telecommunications companies:

Large telecommunications companies want to get rid of the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) by replacing their existing POTS networks with Internet Protocol systems as it is less expensive and easy to provide cellular coverage rather than using expensive copper twisted-pair phone lines in rural areas to support small population. The cost of maintaining the existing POTS has become a difficult task.

Whentheuserenters!!,themostrecentcommandinthehistoryisexecuted.In the example above, if the user entered the command: Osh> !! The ‘ls -l’ command should be executed and echoed on user’s screen. The command should also be placed in the history buffer as the next command. Whentheuserentersasingle!followedbyanintegerN,theNthcommandin the history is executed. In the example above, if the user entered the command: Osh> ! 3 The ‘ps’ command should be executed and echoed on the user’s screen. The command should also be placed in the history buffer as the next command. Error handling: The program should also manage basic error handling. For example, if there are no commands in the history, entering !! should result in a message “No commands in history.” Also, if there is no command corresponding to the number entered with the single !, the program should output "No such command in history."
