Java Singleton Class Example Using Private Constructor

We can make constructor as private. So that We can not create an object outside of the class.
This property is useful to create singleton class in java.
Singleton pattern helps us to keep only one instance of a class at any time.
The purpose of singleton is to control object creation by keeping private constructor.

Java Singleton Sample Code

Code:

package com.myjava.constructors;

public class MySingleTon {
    
    private static MySingleTon myObj;
    /**
     * Create private constructor
     */
    private MySingleTon(){
        
    }
    /**
     * Create a static method to get instance.
     */
    public static MySingleTon getInstance(){
        if(myObj == null){
            myObj = new MySingleTon();
        }
        return myObj;
    }
    
    public void getSomeThing(){
        // do something here
        System.out.println("I am here....");
    }
    
    public static void main(String a[]){
        MySingleTon st = MySingleTon.getInstance();
        st.getSomeThing();
    }
}

Pass by value Vs Pass by reference

Pass by value: Passing a copy of the value, not the original reference.

Pass by reference: Passsing the address of the object, so that you can access the original object.
