AtomicBoolean set() method in Java with Examples

The java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean.set() is an inbuilt method in java that updates the previous value and sets it to a new value which is passed in the parameter.
Syntax:
public final void set(boolean newVal)
Parameters: The function accepts a single mandatory parameter newVal which is to be updated.
Return Value: The function does not returns anything.
Below programs illustrate the above function:
Program 1:
// Java program that demonstrates// the set() function import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean; public class GFG { public static void main(String args[]) { // Initially value as false AtomicBoolean val = new AtomicBoolean(false); System.out.println("Previous value: " + val); val.set(true); // Prints the updated value System.out.println("Current value: " + val); }} |
Output:
Previous value: false Current value: true
Program 2:
// Java program that demonstrates// the set() function import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean; public class GFG { public static void main(String args[]) { // Initially value as true AtomicBoolean val = new AtomicBoolean(true); System.out.println("Previous value: " + val); val.set(false); // Prints the updated value System.out.println("Current value: " + val); }} |
Output:
Previous value: true Current value: false
