$ Get-History -Count ${10}

The command "Get-History -Count ${10}" is a PowerShell command used to retrieve a specific number of items from the command history.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "Get-History" is a PowerShell cmdlet that retrieves the command history, which is a log of all the commands executed in the current session.
  • "-Count" is a parameter that specifies the number of history items to retrieve.
  • "${10}" is a variable, denoted by the enclosing curly braces and the dollar sign "$". In this case, the variable is named "10" and it is used to specify the number of history items to retrieve. Since the variable has no assigned value in this command, it won't have any effect.

The command, as it stands, will retrieve a number of command history items equal to the value of the variable "${10}" (which is not defined, hence doesn't affect the count) and display them in the PowerShell console.
