object Configuration {
  // Define a private variable inside a singleton object (acts as a private static property)
  private var environment: String = "production"

  // Public method to safely access the static property (getter)
  def getEnvironment(): String = {
    environment
  }

  // Public method to modify the static property with validation (setter)
  def setEnvironment(newEnv: String): Unit = {
    if (newEnv != null && newEnv.trim.nonEmpty) {
      environment = newEnv
    }
  }
}

object Main {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    // 1. Accessing the static property via the Singleton Object Name (Best Practice)
    println(s"Current Environment: ${Configuration.getEnvironment()}")

    // 2. Modifying the static property via the setter method
    Configuration.setEnvironment("staging")
    println(s"Updated Environment: ${Configuration.getEnvironment()}")
  }
}


/*
run:

Current Environment: production
Updated Environment: staging

*/
