Answer / ajay parashar
Private constructor is simple constructor that has private
access modifier.
Private constructors are used for two purposes.
1)to prevent creation of objects outside the class when
there are no instance variables in the class and the
methods of class takes some input parameters and does
processing and returns the result without getting or
setting instance variables like in math class of .NET.
2)When your application requires a class that has only one
instance and you need to provide a global point to access
that instance like in the case of singleton.

Answer / christian
a common use for a private constructor is to implement the
singletton pattern, which uses a public member variable of
the same type of the class which is defined. A public
getInstance() method uses this private constructor

Answer / neha
we can not create instance of object with new operator.if u
do not want the class to be inherited then we declare the
construtor as private when we used Private Construtor
Static metods are used this construtor are also used for
creating singleton object

Answer / poonam suryawanshi
When we create a private constructor, we cannot create
object of the class directly from a client. So we will use
private constructor when we do not want instances of the
class to be created by any external client. Even it does not
allow us to inheritance of the class in another class.
Example Utility functions in project will have no instance
and be used without creating instance, as creating instances
of the class would be waste of time. When we create the
Private Constructor we have to make all the Variables and
Function as static.

Private constructor can be used to make a pure static
class, using it we can create only one instance of class at
the loading time.
