The set() method of a AtomicReference class is used to set the value of this AtomicReference object with memory semantics of reading as if the variable was declared volatile type of variable.
Syntax:
public final void set(V newValue)
Parameters: This method accepts newValue which is the new value to set.
Return value: This method returns nothing.
Below programs illustrate the set() method:
Program 1:
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
AtomicReference<Integer> ref
= new AtomicReference<Integer>();
ref.set( 13243546 );
System.out.println( "value 1 = " + ref.get());
}
}
|
Output:
value 1 = 13243546
Program 2:
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
AtomicReference<String> ref
= new AtomicReference<String>();
ref.set( "WELCOME TO GEEKS FOR GEEKS" );
System.out.println( "V = " + ref.get());
}
}
|
Output:
V = WELCOME TO GEEKS FOR GEEKS
