The java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger.getAndIncrement() is an inbuilt method in java that increases the given value by one and returns the value before updation which is of data-type int.
Syntax:
Java
Java
public final int getAndIncrement()Parameters: The function does not accepts a single parameter. Return value: The function returns the value before increment operation is performed to the previous value. Program below demonstrates the function: Program 1:
// Java program that demonstrates
// the getAndIncrement() function
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Initially value as 0
AtomicInteger val
= new AtomicInteger(0);
// Decreases and gets
// the previous value
int res
= val.getAndIncrement();
System.out.println("Previous value: "
+ res);
// Prints the updated value
System.out.println("Current value: "
+ val);
}
}
Output:
Program 2:
Previous value: 0 Current value: 1
// Java program that demonstrates
// the getAndIncrement() function
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Initially value as 18
AtomicInteger val
= new AtomicInteger(18);
// Increases 1 and gets
// the previous value
int res = val.getAndIncrement();
System.out.println("Previous value: "
+ res);
// Prints the updated value
System.out.println("Current value: "
+ val);
}
}
