    Default Why would somebody write a singleton like this?

    Why would somebody write a singleton like this (with volatile and synchronized)?

    public class Singleton {
        private volatile static Singleton singleton;
     
        private Singleton(){}
     
        public static Singleton getInstance(){
            if(singleton==null){
                synchronized (Singleton.class){
                    if(singleton==null){
                        singleton = new Singleton();
                    }
                }
            }
            return singleton;
        }
    }
