Singleton

Problem

Singleton is a most widely used design pattern. If a class has and only has one instance at every moment, we call this design as singleton. For example, for class Mouse (not a animal mouse), we should design it in singleton.

You job is to implement a getInstance method for given class, return the same instance of this class every time you call this method.

Example

In Java:

A a = A.getInstance();
A b = A.getInstance();

a should equal to b.

Challenge

If we call getInstance concurrently, can you make sure your code could run correctly?
