The Java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicIntegerArray.getAndIncrement() is an inbuilt method in Java that atomically increments the value present at any index of an AtomicIntegerArray by one. The method takes the index value of the AtomicIntegerArray as the parameter, returns the value at that index before the increment and then increments the value at that index. The function getAndIncrement() is similar to the incrementAndGet() function but the former returns the value before the increment while the latter returns the value after the increment operation.
Syntax:
public final int getAndIncrement(int i)
Parameters: The function accepts a single parameter i which is the index where increment by one operation is performed.
Return value: The function returns the previous value at that index before the update which is in Integer.
Below programs illustrate the above method:
Program 1:
// Java program that demonstrates// the getAndIncrement() function  import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicIntegerArray;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String args[])    {        // Initializing an array        int a[] = { 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 };          // Initializing an AtomicIntegerArray with array a        AtomicIntegerArray arr = new AtomicIntegerArray(a);          // Displaying the AtomicIntegerArray        System.out.println("The array : " + arr);          // Index where operation is performed        int idx = 0;          // Updating the value at        // idx applying getAndIncrement        // and storing the previous value        int prev = arr.getAndIncrement(idx);          // Previous value at idx before update        System.out.println("Value at index " + idx                           + " before the update is "                           + prev);          // Displaying the AtomicIntegerArray        System.out.println("The array after update : "                           + arr);    }} |
The array : [11, 12, 13, 14, 15] Value at index 0 before the update is 11 The array after update : [12, 12, 13, 14, 15]
Program 2:
// Java program that demonstrates// the getAndIncrement() function  import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicIntegerArray;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String args[])    {        // Initializing an array        int a[] = { 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 };          // Initializing an AtomicIntegerArray with array a        AtomicIntegerArray arr = new AtomicIntegerArray(a);          // Displaying the AtomicIntegerArray        System.out.println("The array : " + arr);          // Index where operation is performed        int idx = 3;          // Updating the value at        // idx applying getAndIncrement        // and storing the previous value        int prev = arr.getAndIncrement(idx);          // Previous value at idx before update        System.out.println("Value at index " + idx                           + " before the update is "                           + prev);          // Displaying the AtomicIntegerArray        System.out.println("The array after update : "                           + arr);    }} |
The array : [11, 12, 13, 14, 15] Value at index 3 before the update is 14 The array after update : [11, 12, 13, 15, 15]
Note: The function getAndIncrement() is similar to incrementAndGet() but the latter function returns the updated value whereas the former returns previous value after the update.
