Programming Technical Interview Questions
This site features a collection of common technical interview questions gathered by a group of programmers who have been through, and given, lots of technical interviews. There is an emphasis on C++ and game programming technical interviews, but most of the questions are relevant to any technical interview.
Private Constructors
C/C++ Interview Questions, Object Oriented Programming

What happens if you declare the only constructor in a class as private? Give an example of why you might want to do this.

if your constructor is private then you can’t instanciate the class yourself. A singleton is the common example of why you’d want to do this, can’t think of any other reason off the top of my head.
