java.util.concurrent.atomic
class AtomicLong

java.lang.Object extended by java.lang.Number extended by java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

Most common way to construct:

AtomicLong ai = new AtomicLong(1);

Based on 301 examples


public class AtomicLong
extends Number
implements Serializable

A {@code long} value that may be updated atomically. See the {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic} package specification for description of the properties of atomic variables. An {@code AtomicLong} is used in applications such as atomically incremented sequence numbers, and cannot be used as a replacement for a {@link java.lang.Long}. However, this class does extend {@code Number} to allow uniform access by tools and utilities that deal with numerically-based classes.


Constructor Summary

          Creates a new AtomicLong with initial value .
AtomicLong(long initialValue)

          Creates a new AtomicLong with the given initial value.

Constructor Detail

AtomicLong

public AtomicLong()
Creates a new AtomicLong with initial value {@code 0}.


AtomicLong

public AtomicLong(long initialValue)
Creates a new AtomicLong with the given initial value.

Parameters:
initialValue - the initial value
Method Detail

addAndGet

public final long addAndGet(long delta)
Atomically adds the given value to the current value.

Parameters:
delta - the value to add
Returns:
the updated value

compareAndSet

public final boolean compareAndSet(long expect,
                                   long update)
Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value {@code ==} 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.

decrementAndGet

public final long decrementAndGet()
Atomically decrements by one the current value.

Returns:
the updated value

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()
Overrides:
doubleValue in class Number

floatValue

public float floatValue()
Overrides:
floatValue in class Number

get

public final long get()
Gets the current value.

Returns:
the current value

getAndAdd

public final long getAndAdd(long delta)
Atomically adds the given value to the current value.

Parameters:
delta - the value to add
Returns:
the previous value

getAndDecrement

public final long getAndDecrement()
Atomically decrements by one the current value.

Returns:
the previous value

getAndIncrement

public final long getAndIncrement()
Atomically increments by one the current value.

Returns:
the previous value

getAndSet

public final long getAndSet(long newValue)
Atomically sets to the given value and returns the old value.

Parameters:
newValue - the new value
Returns:
the previous value

incrementAndGet

public final long incrementAndGet()
Atomically increments by one the current value.

Returns:
the updated value

intValue

public int intValue()
Overrides:
intValue in class Number

lazySet

public final void lazySet(long newValue)
Eventually sets to the given value.

Parameters:
newValue - the new value

longValue

public long longValue()
Overrides:
longValue in class Number

set

public final void set(long newValue)
Sets to the given value.

Parameters:
newValue - the new value

toString

public String toString()
Returns the String representation of the current value.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
the String representation of the current value.

weakCompareAndSet

public final boolean weakCompareAndSet(long expect,
                                       long update)
Atomically sets the value to the given updated value if the current value {@code ==} the expected value.

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

Parameters:
expect - the expected value
update - the new value
Returns:
true if successful.
