The updateAndGet() method of a AtomicReferenceArray class is used to atomically updates which updates the current value of the AtomicReferenceArray by applying the specified updateFunction operation on the current value. It takes an object of updateFunction interface as its parameter and applies the operation specified in the object to the current value. It returns the previous value.
Syntax:
public final V updateAndGet( UnaryOperator<V> updateFunction)
Parameters: This method accepts:
- index i to update the index value and
- updateFunction which is a side-effect-free function.
Return value: This method returns the previous value.
Below programs illustrate the updateAndGet() method:
Program 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // AtomicReferenceArray.updateAndGet() method import java.util.concurrent.atomic.*;
import java.util.function.UnaryOperator;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// an array
String a[]
= { "GFG" , "JS" , "PYTHON" , "JAVA" };
// AtomicReferenceArray with array
AtomicReferenceArray<String> array
= new AtomicReferenceArray<>(a);
// Print AtomicReferenceArray
System.out.println(
"The AtomicReferenceArray before update : "
+ array);
// Index
int index = 2 ;
// Declaring the accumulatorFunction
// applying function
UnaryOperator add
= (u) -> u.toString() + " and ML" ;
// apply updateAndGet()
String value
= array.updateAndGet(index, add);
// print AtomicReferenceArray
System.out.println( "updated value of index 2:"
+ value);
System.out.println(
"The AtomicReferenceArray after update: "
+ array);
}
} |
Output:
Program 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // AtomicReferenceArray.updateAndGet() method import java.util.concurrent.atomic.*;
import java.util.function.UnaryOperator;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// an array
Integer a[]
= { 213 , 1234 , 4543 , 345 };
// AtomicReferenceArray with array
AtomicReferenceArray<Integer> array
= new AtomicReferenceArray(a);
// Print AtomicReferenceArray
System.out.println(
"The AtomicReferenceArray before update : "
+ array);
// Index
int index = 2 ;
// Declaring the accumulatorFunction
// applying function
UnaryOperator add
= (u) -> Integer.parseInt(u.toString()) * 500 ;
// apply updateAndGet()
int value
= array.updateAndGet(index, add);
// print AtomicReferenceArray
System.out.println( "updated value of index 2:"
+ value);
System.out.println(
"The AtomicReferenceArray after update: "
+ array);
}
