why can’t we add a constructor to a object class{}?

why can’t we add a constructor to a object class{}?

[edrd]

Because object means an instance, not a class, so you cannot instantiate it and therefore a constructor doesn't make sense

[Brian Donovan]

thank you

[Brian Donovan]

so what is the difference from a object class{} vs a singleton?

[edrd]

no difference, in Kotlin object is meant for implementing singletons

[edrd]

btw, #getting-started is more suited for these kinds of questions
