Sometimes we would like a class that has just a single unique instance. Create a class Merlin that has one attribute, theWizard, which is static and of type Merlin. The class has only one constructor and two methods, as follows:
• Merlin—a private constructor. Only this class can invoke this constructor; no other class or program can create an instance of Merlin.
• summon—a static method that returns theWizard if it is not null; if theWizard is null, this method creates an instance of Merlin using the private constructor and assigns it to theWizard before returning it.
• consult—a nonstatic method that returns the string "Pull the sword
from the stone".
See the code in Merlin.java.

We do not use a long chain of ->next’s when working with a linked list (for example, ptr->next->next->next->next->next->info) because:
A. we often do not know how long the linked list is, so we use a loop to move a pointer through the list B. we can only use one next at a time (C++ does not permit more than one in an expression) C. it can become an infinite loop D. doing so can cause memory leak
