One of my assignments asks us to implement a menu using a singleton class and I am kind of confused on what it is asking.

Prof said a singleton class is just a class with one purpose.

So is he asking us to create a new singleton class that has one method, that's a menu, and return some data type to use in a switch case from my main method? Or is there something more to it.

I have a feeling this is probably not what you would use a singleton class for in the real world, this is all just for education.

No. Either he misspoke or you misunderstood. Singletons mean only one object can exist at a time. So you need a private constructor. there are different patterns you can follow (lazy loading, eager loading, etc).

can you post the exact words of the assignment? i'm not clear what this menu is. just some kind of "choose option 1, 2, or 3" in the console?

okay, what you said sounds about right then. it will display the menu and get user input. you might want to handle invalid input in there, too.

Thank you once agian
