AtomicReference getPlain() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 27 Dec, 2019

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);
    }
}

 
// Java program to demonstrate
// AtomicReference.getPlain() methodimport 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);
    }
}
