AtomicLong get() method in Java with examples

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

Syntax:

public final long get()

Parameters: The function does not accepts any parameter.

Return value: The function returns the current value

Below programs illustrate the above method:

Program 1:

// Java program that demonstrates 
// the get() function 
  
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
  
        // Initially value as 0 
        AtomicLong val = new AtomicLong(0); 
  
        val.addAndGet(7); 
  
        // Prints the updated value 
        System.out.println("Previous value: "
                           + val); 
  
        // Gets the current value 
        long res = val.get(); 
  
        System.out.println("current value: "
                           + res); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Previous value: 7
current value: 7

Program 2:

// Java program that demonstrates 
// the get() function 
  
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
  
        // Initially value as 18 
        AtomicLong val = new AtomicLong(18); 
  
        val.addAndGet(7); 
  
        // Prints the updated value 
        System.out.println("Previous value: "
                           + val); 
  
        // Gets the current value 
        long res = val.get(); 
  
        System.out.println("current value: "
                           + res); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Previous value: 25
current value: 25
