Java Programs
- 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:
- public class AtomicInteger
- extends Number
- implements Serializable
 
 
AtomicInteger Class Constructors:
- public AtomicInteger(): Creates a new AtomicInteger object with default value 0.
- AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
 
 
- public AtomicInteger(int initialValue): Creates a new AtomicInteger object with given initial  value.
- 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.
- package com.instaceofjava;
-  
- import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
-  
- public class AtomicIntegerExample{
-  
- public static void main(String[] args) {
-  
- AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
-  
-   System.out.println(atomicInteger);
-   atomicInteger.set(10);
-   System.out.println(atomicInteger);
-  
- }
-  
- }
 
 
Output:
2, public final void get():
- Used to get current value. 
Java Program to create AtomicInteger class object and sets some value and get.
- package com.instaceofjava;
-  
- import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
-  
- public class AtomicIntegerExample{
-  
- public static void main(String[] args) {
-  
- AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
-  
-   System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
-   atomicInteger.set(10);
-   System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
-  
- }
-  
- }
 
 
Output:
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
- package com.instaceofjava;
-  
- import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
-  
- public class AtomicIntegerExample{
-  
- public static void main(String[] args) {
-  
- AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
-  
-    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
-  
-    atomicInteger.set(10);
-  
-    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
-  
-    System.out.println(atomicInteger.getAndSet(12));
-  
-    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
-  
- }
-  
- }
 
 
Output:
   
4.public final int incrementAndGet()
- Automatically increments the value one and returns updated value
 
Java Program which explains incrementAndGet() method of AtomicInteger class
- package com.instaceofjava;
-  
- import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
-  
- public class AtomicIntegerExample{
-  
- public static void main(String[] args) {
-  
- AtomicInteger atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();
-  
-    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
-  
-    atomicInteger.set(10);
-  
-    System.out.println(atomicInteger.get());
-  
-    System.out.println(atomicInteger.incrementAndGet());
-  
-  
- }
-  
- }
 
 
Output:
