Class AtomicInteger

public class AtomicInteger extends Number implements Serializable

An {@code int} value that may be updated atomically. See the edu.emory.mathcs.backport.java.util.concurrent.atomic package specification for description of the properties of atomic variables. An {@code AtomicInteger} is used in applications such as atomically incremented counters, and cannot be used as a replacement for an java.lang.Integer. However, this class does extend {@code Number} to allow uniform access by tools and utilities that deal with numerically-based classes.

Constructor Detail

AtomicInteger

public AtomicInteger(int initialValue)
Creates a new AtomicInteger with the given initial value.

Parameters: initialValue the initial value

AtomicInteger

public AtomicInteger()
Creates a new AtomicInteger with initial value {@code 0}.

Method Detail

addAndGet

public final int addAndGet(int delta)
Atomically adds the given value to the current value.

Parameters: delta the value to add

Returns: the updated value

compareAndSet

public final boolean compareAndSet(int expect, int update)
Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value {@code ==} the expected value.

Parameters: expect the expected value update the new value

Returns: true if successful. False return indicates that the actual value was not equal to the expected value.

decrementAndGet

public final int decrementAndGet()
Atomically decrements by one the current value.

Returns: the updated value

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()

floatValue

public float floatValue()

get

public final int get()
Gets the current value.

Returns: the current value

getAndAdd

public final int getAndAdd(int delta)
Atomically adds the given value to the current value.

Parameters: delta the value to add

Returns: the previous value

getAndDecrement

public final int getAndDecrement()
Atomically decrements by one the current value.

Returns: the previous value

getAndIncrement

public final int getAndIncrement()
Atomically increments by one the current value.

Returns: the previous value

getAndSet

public final int getAndSet(int newValue)
Atomically sets to the given value and returns the old value.

Parameters: newValue the new value

Returns: the previous value

incrementAndGet

public final int incrementAndGet()
Atomically increments by one the current value.

Returns: the updated value

intValue

public int intValue()

lazySet

public final void lazySet(int newValue)
Eventually sets to the given value.

Parameters: newValue the new value

Since: 1.6

longValue

public long longValue()

set

public final void set(int newValue)
Sets to the given value.

Parameters: newValue the new value

toString

public String toString()
Returns the String representation of the current value.

Returns: the String representation of the current value.

weakCompareAndSet

public final boolean weakCompareAndSet(int expect, int update)
Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value {@code ==} the expected value.

May fail spuriously and does not provide ordering guarantees, so is only rarely an appropriate alternative to {@code compareAndSet}.

Parameters: expect the expected value update the new value

Returns: true if successful.
