The setPlain() method of a AtomicReference class is used to set the value of this AtomicReference object with memory semantics of setting as if the variable was declared non-volatile and non-final.
Syntax:
Java
Java
public final void setPlain(V newValue)Parameters: This method accepts newValue which is the new value to set. Return value: This method returns nothing. Below programs illustrate the setPlain() method: Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate
// AtomicReference.setPlain() method
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create an atomic reference object.
AtomicReference<Long> ref
= new AtomicReference<Long>();
// set some value using setPlain method
ref.setPlain(999945678979L);
// print value
System.out.println("value = " + ref.get());
}
}
Output:
Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// AtomicReference.setPlain() 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 using setPlain()
ref.setPlain("String Buffer");
// print value
System.out.println("Class = " + ref.get());
}
}
