AtomicInteger get() method in Java with examples

The java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger.get() is an inbuilt method in java which returns the current value which is of date-type int.

Syntax:

public final int get()

Parameters: The function does not accepts any parameter.

Return value: The function returns the current value

Program below demonstrates the function:

Program 1:

// Java Program to demonstrates
// the get() function

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {

        // Initially value as 0
        AtomicInteger val
            = new AtomicInteger(0);

        val.addAndGet(7);

        // Prints the updated value
        System.out.println("Previous value: "
                           + val);

        // Gets the current value
        int res = val.get();

        System.out.println("current value: "
                           + res);
    }
}

Output:

Previous value: 7
current value: 7

Program 2:

// Java Program to demonstrates
// the get() function

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {

        // Initially value as 18
        AtomicInteger val = new AtomicInteger(18);

        val.addAndGet(7);

        // Prints the updated value
        System.out.println("Previous value: " + val);

        // Gets the current value
        int res = val.get();

        System.out.println("current value: " + res);
    }
}

Output:

Previous value: 25
current value: 25
