The java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger.getAndSet() is an inbuilt method in java that sets the given value to the value passed in the parameter and returns the value before updation which is of data-type int.
Syntax:
public final int getAndSet(int val)
Parameters: The function accepts a single mandatory parameter val which specifies the value to be updated.
Return value: The function returns the value before update operation is performed to the previous value.
Program below demonstrates the function:
Program 1:
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
AtomicInteger val
= new AtomicInteger( 0 );
int res
= val.getAndSet( 10 );
System.out.println( "Previous value: "
+ res);
System.out.println( "Current value: "
+ val);
}
}
|
Output:
Previous value: 0
Current value: 10
Program 2:
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
AtomicInteger val
= new AtomicInteger( 18 );
int res = val.getAndSet( 12 );
System.out.println( "Previous value: "
+ res);
System.out.println( "Current value: "
+ val);
}
}
|
Output:
Previous value: 18
Current value: 12
