Code Puzzle

How many compiler errors, potential NullReferenceExceptions, StackOverflowExceptions and whatnot can you spot in this presumably review-ready class? And the million dollar question: Can you guess the intended purpose?
public class QueryContainer
{
private static List<QueryContainer> Container;
private static QueryContainer instance;public static QueryContainer Instance { get { if (Instance == null) instance = new QueryContainer(); return instance; } } public int \_searchID; public int ID { get { return \_id; } } public string Query { get { return Container.Find(instance => instance.\_id == \_searchID).Query; } set { Container.Query = value; \_id =+ 1; } } private int \_id; private string \_query; private QueryContainer() { }}

As you didn't mark your post as a joke or put a smiley into it I have to assume you're being serious: But my post isn't a programming question.

1. The
Instanceproperty get will overflow the stack due to recursion. 2. TheQueryproperty set and get will both throwNullReferenceException's, sinceContaineris never initialized. 3. The code shouldn't even compile. TheQueryproperty set assignsvaluetoContainer.Query, but sinceContaineris aList<>, it doesn't have aQueryproperty. I'm going to completely ignore the code's stated purpose, which I don't think what they've provided has the faintest hope of meeting.Software Zen:
