• Java.util.concurrent.atomic package provides very useful classes that support lock free and thread safe programming.
  • The main use of this class is an int value that may be updated automatically.
  • AtomicInteger has some useful methods. Before that lets see the some points about this class.
  • Commonly we will use this AtomicInteger to handle the counter that is accessible by different threads simultaneously.

Java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger:

  1. public class AtomicInteger
  2. extends Number
  3. implements Serializable

AtomicInteger Class Constructors:


  • public AtomicInteger(): Creates a new AtomicInteger object with default value 0.
  1. AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
  • public AtomicInteger(int initialValue): Creates a new AtomicInteger object with given initial  value.
  1. AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger(10);


 AtomicInteger Class Methods:


 1.public final void set(int newValue):
  •  Sets given value to the object.

  Java Program to create AtomicInteger class object and sets some value.

  1. package com.instaceofjava;
  2.  
  3. import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
  4.  
  5. public class AtomicIntegerExample{
  6.  
  7. public static void main(String[] args) {
  8.  
  9. AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
  10.  
  11.   System.out.println(atomicInteger);
  12.   atomicInteger.set(10);
  13.   System.out.println(atomicInteger);
  14.  
  15. }
  16.  
  17. }

Output:

  1. 0
  2. 10

2, public final void get():

  • Used to get current value.

Java Program to create AtomicInteger class object and sets some value and get.

  1. package com.instaceofjava;
  2.  
  3. import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
  4.  
  5. public class AtomicIntegerExample{
  6.  
  7. public static void main(String[] args) {
  8.  
  9. AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
  10.  
  11.   System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
  12.   atomicInteger.set(10);
  13.   System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
  14.  
  15. }
  16.  
  17. }

Output:

  1. 0
  2. 10
3.public final int getAndSet(int newValue):
  • Automatically sets the given value and returns old value.

  Java Program which explains getAndSet(int x) method of AtomicInteger class

  1. package com.instaceofjava;
  2.  
  3. import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
  4.  
  5. public class AtomicIntegerExample{
  6.  
  7. public static void main(String[] args) {
  8.  
  9. AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
  10.  
  11.    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
  12.  
  13.    atomicInteger.set(10);
  14.  
  15.    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
  16.  
  17.    System.out.println(atomicInteger.getAndSet(12));
  18.  
  19.    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
  20.  
  21. }
  22.  
  23. }

Output:

  1. 0
  2. 10
  3. 10
  4. 12



4.public final int incrementAndGet()
  • Automatically increments the value one and returns updated value

  Java Program which explains incrementAndGet() method of AtomicInteger class

  1. package com.instaceofjava;
  2.  
  3. import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
  4.  
  5. public class AtomicIntegerExample{
  6.  
  7. public static void main(String[] args) {
  8.  
  9. AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
  10.  
  11.    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
  12.  
  13.    atomicInteger.set(10);
  14.  
  15.    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
  16.  
  17.    System.out.println(atomicInteger.incrementAndGet());
  18.  
  19.  
  20. }
  21.  
  22. }

Output:

  1. 0
  2. 10
  3. 11
