Hi All,

I have been reading singleton pattern,it's advantages and disadvantages. Since I am new to this I am not able to understand the detailed nature of disadvantages. Can someone please explain in detail the disadvantages of singleton with any example if possible.
eg:
1. How do they deviate from Single Responsibility Principle(SRP).
2. It hides the dependency in the code of the application.

Thanks in advance!!!

What I have tried:

I have tried google to understand the disadvantages but everywhere they uses the same terms without any example.

We have even an article on this very subject: Singleton Pattern – Positive and Negative Aspects[^]. It doesn't show examples, though. You may also try to use Google for the purpose of finding code samples.
