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();
    }
}

Difference between Enumeration and Iterator

The functionality of Enumeration and the Iterator are same. You can get remove() from Iterator to remove an element, while while Enumeration does not have remove() method. Using Enumeration you can only traverse and fetch the objects, where as using Iterator we can also add and remove the objects. So Iterator can be useful if you want to manipulate the list and Enumeration is for read-only access.
