What is a private Constructor? When it is used?

• A private constructor is a special instance constructor which can be used in classes that contain only static methods.
• If a class has one or more private constructor and no public constructor, other classes cannot instantiate it.
• The class can be accessed by its inner classes or members.
• In such cases, there can be a method which returns an instance of the class, restricting any further instantiation.
• private constructors are one way of restricting an object to be instantiated – which is used in creating Singletons.

public class MyClass 
{
    private static MyClass _obj;
    
    private MyClass() 
    {
    }
    
    public static MyClass GetInstance() 
    {
        if(_obj == null) _obj = new MyClass();
        return _obj;
    }
}
