Basic Textmate help

[meddyliol]

This is probably a very stupid question but here goes. I am going to start learning C++, I did some C when doing my HNC course but have forgotten everything. My very basic question is relating to Textmate. When I open it and do 'New from template' it gives me various options, one of these is called 'Objective-C/singleton'. I assume that this is the correct option but what does singleton mean. I know what it means when playing Bridge or Whist.

Sorry if I am wasting your time but I need to start off on the right foot.

Thanks

Brian

In general singletons should be avoided unless you have a very specific reason to use that design pattern.
