Help: Using Static Methods to create a Singleton
Help is available for each task, or you can go straight to the solution source code.
Make the constructor "friendly" by removing the public keyword from its signature. Task 2Create the PersonFactory class with a private constructor that does nothing.Create a constructor for PersonFactory with an empty body, add the private keyword to the signature. Task 3Add a static variable to the PersonFactory class to hold an instance of that class.Add the static variable "instance" with the type PersonFactor. It should also be private. Task 4Add the method instance to the PersonFactory class. It will always return the single instance of the PersonFactory class, which is held in the static variable, instance.Before returning the value of the variable, it must check if it is null, setting it to a new instance of the PersonFactory class if it is. Task 5Add the method newPerson to the PersonFactory class to act as a surrogate for the now hidden constructor for Person.This method takes a string name as an argument, creates a new Person with that name, and returns it. Task 6Modify the main method to use the new factory class.Replace all calls to the Person constructor with calls to the PersonFactory method newPerson. Use the static method PersonFactory.instance to retrieve an instance of the PersonFactory. |
