One of the most common software design patterns is the Singleton pattern. With this pattern, developers can ensure that only a single instance of any class exists within an application. In this section, we'll revisit this pattern, understanding why this pattern may be useful, and how to implement this pattern in Kotlin.

Understanding the Singleton pattern
As previously mentioned, the Singleton pattern helps developers ensure that only a single instance of a class exists at any time for an application. This is generally achieved through limiting how a class may be instantiated by making the class constructor private, and providing a public static method that can configure, instantiate...
