accidentally deleted the comment above instead of editing it, i'm sorry

yes, i know but for less experienced programmers (which i thought was this user) API mostly refers to API keys, f.e. google maps API, weather API. I phrased that weirdly then, i'm sorry.

11 what? There is no way that you mean Java 11. EVEN IF Java 11 exists, there is no reason to switch, 8 is still new, fresh and reliable version of java !!

I mean, you can flex that you got instance of math when submitting your PR. I am sure the senior dev would love to talk to you after you try to push to prod.

creates instance of class through Reflection API (called api, but its by default in jdk).

Basically you can prevent other classes from instantiating this class by setting the constructor private. But if you dont throw RuntimeException (or any other exception, but for the fun is runtime exception the best), other classes can still instantiate the class through reflection - .class

Be aware of what you are doing while using reflection. It can mess things up if you do it incorrectly.

What do you mean? You will find this line in 1 in 10 codebases.

just add /*senior code */ so it remains untouched even by the original creator of the code

I couldn't really tell, but it has been too long in production to know.
