Predict the Output Challenge in C#, part 3

• koyote 12y ago
  These are quite good and definitely result in quite surprising output in some cases. I would have liked the descriptions/answers to be a bit more detailed though. For example, why is the static constructor called only after the instance constructor (in part 2)? As far as I can see in the docs, this should not be the case?

    static constructor does get called first. The problem is in this line: static readonly Singleton _instance = new Singleton(); The static variable depends on the instance. So static gets called first and starts running, but before it could call the Console.WriteLine, instance of Singleton gets created due to the above line and hence the instance constructor.
