What is Singleton Class In java?

A class is said to be a Singleton class when it contains only one object at a time. In singleton class, we use getInstance () method instead of the constructor.

Program to make singleton class in java

// This program will create singleton class using static

public class SingletonClassUsingStatic 
{		 
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		// create object of class.
		MySingleton ms = MySingleton.getInstance();
		ms.testSingleton();
	}
}

// create singleton class and make private constructor.
class MySingleton
{     
	private static MySingleton instance;

	static
	{
		instance = new MySingleton();
	}

	private MySingleton()
	{
		System.out.println("This is Singleton Object..");
	}

	public static MySingleton getInstance()
	{
		return instance;
	}

	public void testSingleton()
	{
		System.out.println("Class Created..");
	}
}

Output

This is Singleton Object..
Class Created..
