Kotlin Object
- In Java if we want to access the
member fieldandmember functionof a class we use thestatickeyword. - The static keyword represents the singleton pattern. And by the singleton pattern, we are able to have one instance of a class.
- We create singleton so that we can share the same instance and resources throughout and sometimes the reason can be because these resources are expensive to create.
- Can the object class be inherited? --> No, Instead we need to enclose it in an open class and then need to get access to the items of it
- Can we have a constructor in the object class? --> No, Instead we can have a init{} method and initialize anything if needed
Object Singleton {
var count : Int = 0;
fun appendCount(){
count++
}
}
