    Angry Identify the problem within this snippet of Java/C# code implementing Singleton Desig

    Q: Identify the problem within this snippet of Java/C# code implementing Singleton Design Pattern. (This is not a trick question, there is a potential real problem in using this code)
    class Singleton
    {
    public static Singleton Instance()
    {
    if (_instance == null){
    _instance = new Singleton();
    return _instance;
    }
    }
    protected Singleton() {}
    private static Singleton _instance = null;
    }

    Do you know what the problem is and are just asking it as a challenge to others, or do you need help figuring out what the issue is?

    Can you explain what the problem is?
    Are there error messages?
    Does the code not work as expected?

    Hint: Consider what would happen if multiple threads tried to call Instance() at the same time and _instance = null.

    How I interpret this statement: I have to turn in a homework assignment and can't figure out the answer to this question - please do so for me. Not going to happen. Of course, maybe I am misinterpreting your problem, in which case you should restate it.

    That being said, along with helloworld's hint, here's another: inheritance.
