Create a class diagram and Java code for the following system and scenario, taking into account the possibility of future extensions.
The system is a command line utility that prints a short 'quote of the day' on the user's terminal when run. To begin with the quote is selected randomly from a set of hard-coded strings within the program itself, but that might change later on -- the quotes might be based on the user's history, the time of day, the date, etc.
Scenario:
- User types "java QuoteOfTheDay" on the command line.
- System prints out a quote of the day, with an attribution.
I have created an interface QuoteProvider and implemented it with the class HardCodedQuoteProvider. I am storing the times when a quote was previously used in a file 'history.txt'. A quote is provided only if it has not been used before.
Is there any way to make this code better? Also is there any way to ensure that this class is instantiated only once? Since otherwise the different objects will overwrite each other's history in the history file.
