AtomicLong getAndIncrement() method in Java with examples
The Java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong.getAndIncrement() is an inbuilt method in java that increases the given value by one and returns the value before updation which is of data-type long.
Syntax:
public final long getAndIncrement()
Parameters: The function does not accepts a single parameter.
Return value: The function returns the value before increment operation is performed to the previous value.
Below programs illustrate the above method:
Program 1:
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
AtomicLong val = new AtomicLong( 0 );
long res
= val.getAndIncrement();
System.out.println( "Previous value: "
+ res);
System.out.println( "Current value: "
+ val);
}
}
|
Output:
Previous value: 0
Current value: 1
Program 2:
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
AtomicLong val = new AtomicLong( 18 );
long res = val.getAndIncrement();
System.out.println( "Previous value: "
+ res);
System.out.println( "Current value: "
+ val);
}
}
|
Output:
Previous value: 18
Current value: 19
