AtomicInteger intValue() method in Java with examples

The intValue() method in Java is a part of the AtomicInteger class. It returns the current value of the AtomicInteger as an int.

Syntax:

public int intValue()

Example 1:

AtomicInteger atomicInt = new AtomicInteger(10);
int value = atomicInt.intValue();
System.out.println("Value of atomicInt: " + value);

Output:

Value of atomicInt: 10

Example 2:

AtomicInteger atomicInt = new AtomicInteger();
atomicInt.set(20);
int value = atomicInt.intValue();
System.out.println("Value of atomicInt: " + value);

Output:

Value of atomicInt: 20

Example 3:

AtomicInteger atomicInt = new AtomicInteger(5);
int value1 = atomicInt.intValue();
atomicInt.addAndGet(10);
int value2 = atomicInt.intValue();
System.out.println("Value1 of atomicInt: " + value1);
System.out.println("Value2 of atomicInt: " + value2);

Output:

Value1 of atomicInt: 5
Value2 of atomicInt: 15

In the above example, we first get the value of atomicInt using intValue() method and store it in value1. Then we add 10 to atomicInt using addAndGet() method and get the new value of atomicInt using intValue() method and store it in value2.
