This matters for objects where multiple instances would break the logic (for example, a logger, a cache, a settings dispatcher). 2. **A global access point.** It lets you get the same instance from anywhere in the program without passing it through parameters. This simplifies working with shared resources. 3. **Controlling the object's lifecycle.** The class manages its own creation and lifetime, eliminating duplication and unpredictability. In this way, Singleton provides **centralized, controlled, and unified access to a resource** that must exist in the system as a single instance.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
