The weakCompareAndSetPlain() method of a AtomicReferenceArray class is used to atomically sets the value of the element at index i to newValue to newValue for AtomicReferenceArray if the current value is equal to expectedValue passed as parameter. This method updates the value at index i with memory semantics of setting as if the variable at index i was declared non-volatile and non-final.This method returns true if set a new value is successful.
Syntax:
public final boolean weakCompareAndSetPlain(int i, E expectedValue, E newValue)
Parameters: This method accepts i which is an index of AtomicReferenceArray to perform the operation, expectedValue which is the expected value and newValue which is the new value to set.
Return value: This method returns true if successful.
Below programs illustrate the weakCompareAndSetPlain() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate AtomicReferenceArray // weakCompareAndSetPlain() method import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReferenceArray;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create an atomic reference object.
AtomicReferenceArray<Integer> ref
= new AtomicReferenceArray<Integer>( 5 );
// set some value
ref.set( 0 , 321 );
ref.set( 1 , 123 );
ref.set( 2 , 322 );
// apply weakCompareAndSetPlain()
boolean result
= ref.weakCompareAndSetPlain(
0 , 124 ,
234 );
// print value
System.out.println( "Setting new value"
+ " is successful = "
+ result);
System.out.println( "Value of index 0 = "
+ ref.get( 1 ));
}
} |
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate AtomicReferenceArray // weakCompareAndSetPlain() method import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReferenceArray;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create an atomic reference object.c
AtomicReferenceArray<String> ref
= new AtomicReferenceArray<String>( 5 );
// set some value
ref.set( 0 , "C" );
ref.set( 1 , "JAVA" );
ref.set( 2 , "JS" );
ref.set( 3 , "C++" );
ref.set( 4 , "C" );
// apply weakCompareAndSetVolatile()
boolean result
= ref.weakCompareAndSetVolatile(
4 , "C" ,
"PYTHON" );
// print value
System.out.println( "Setting new value"
+ " is successful = "
+ result);
System.out.println( "Value of index 4 = "
+ ref.get( 4 ));
}
