## Class AtomicInteger

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Number
  - - java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public class AtomicInteger
      extends Number
      implements Serializable

  An `int` value that may be updated atomically. See the `java.util.concurrent.atomic` package specification for description of the properties of atomic variables. An `AtomicInteger` is used in applications such as atomically incremented counters, and cannot be used as a replacement for an `Integer`. However, this class does extend `Number` to allow uniform access by tools and utilities that deal with numerically-based classes.
  Since:
    1.5

    - #### AtomicInteger

          public AtomicInteger(int initialValue)

      Creates a new AtomicInteger with the given initial value.
      Parameters:

    - #### AtomicInteger

          public AtomicInteger()

      Creates a new AtomicInteger with initial value `0`.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### get

          public final int get()

      Gets the current value.
      Returns:
        the current value

    - #### set

          public final void set(int newValue)

      Sets to the given value.
      Parameters:
        `newValue` - the new value

    - #### lazySet

          public final void lazySet(int newValue)

      Eventually sets to the given value.
      Parameters:
        `newValue` - the new value
      Since:
        1.6

    - #### getAndSet

          public final int getAndSet(int newValue)

      Atomically sets to the given value and returns the old value.
      Parameters:
        `newValue` - the new value
      Returns:
        the previous value

    - #### compareAndSet

          public final boolean compareAndSet(int expect,
                                             int update)

      Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value `==` the expected value.
      Parameters:
        `expect` - the expected value
        `update` - the new value
      Returns:
        `true` if successful. False return indicates that the actual value was not equal to the expected value.

    - #### weakCompareAndSet

          public final boolean weakCompareAndSet(int expect,
                                                 int update)

      Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value `==` the expected value.

      May fail spuriously and does not provide ordering guarantees, so is only rarely an appropriate alternative to `compareAndSet`.
