AtomicReference getPlain() method in Java with Examples

0 1 1 minute read

The getPlain() method of a AtomicReference class is used to return the current value of AtomicReference object, with memory semantics of reading as if the variable was declared non-volatile.

Syntax:

public final V getPlain()

Parameters: This method accepts nothing.

Return value: This method returns the value of AtomicReference.

Below programs illustrate the getPlain() method:
Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// AtomicReference.getPlain() method
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // create an atomic reference object.
        AtomicReference<Integer> ref
            = new AtomicReference<Integer>();
  
        // set some value
        ref.set(564324);
  
        // get value using getPlain()
        int value = ref.getPlain();
  
        // print
        System.out.println("Value = " + value);
    }
}

Output:

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// AtomicReference.getPlain() method
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // create an atomic reference object.
        AtomicReference<String> ref
            = new AtomicReference<String>();
  
        // set some value
        ref.set("AtomicReference value");
  
        // get value getPlain()
        String value = ref.getPlain();
  
        // print
        System.out.println("Value = " + value);
    }
