Ensure a class has only one instance and provide a global point of access to it.

Define an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide which class to instantiate.

Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.

Separate the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction process can create different representations.

Create objects by cloning a prototype rather than constructing from scratch.
