43 Singleton Pattern

Singleton:

ensures a class has only one instance, and provides a global point of access to it.

 

 

Java example 1:

 

public class Singleton {
	private static Singleton instance;
	private Singleton() {}
	public static Singleton getInstance() {
		if (instance == null) {
			synchronized (Singleton.class) {
				if (instance == null) {
					instance = new Singleton();
				}
			}
		}
		return instance;
	}
}

Java example 2:

public class Singleton {
	private static Singleton instance = new Singleton();;
	private Singleton() {}
	public static Singleton getInstance() {
		return instance;
	}
}

C# example1:

public class Singleton
{
    private volatile static Singleton _instance = null;
    private static readonly object lockHelper = new object();
    private Singleton(){}
    public static Singleton CreateInstance()
    {
        if(_instance == null)
        {
            lock(lockHelper)
            {
                if(_instance == null)
                     _instance = new Singleton();
            }
        }
        return _instance;
    }
}

 

C# example 2:

public class Singleton
{
 
    private Singleton(){}
    public static readonly Singleton instance = new Singleton();
}
