| ↳ | java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean | 
A boolean value that may be updated atomically. See the
 java.util.concurrent.atomic package specification for
 description of the properties of atomic variables. An
 AtomicBoolean is used in applications such as atomically
 updated flags, and cannot be used as a replacement for a
 Boolean.

AtomicBoolean (boolean initialValue)
Creates a new AtomicBoolean with the given initial value.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| initialValue | boolean:
          the initial value | 
AtomicBoolean ()
Creates a new AtomicBoolean with initial value false.
boolean compareAndSet (boolean expect, 
                boolean update)
    
    
    
  Atomically sets the value to the given updated value
 if the current value == the expected value.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| expect | boolean:
          the expected value | 
| update | boolean:
          the new value | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | trueif successful. False return indicates that
 the actual value was not equal to the expected value. | 
boolean get ()
Returns the current value.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | the current value | 
boolean getAndSet (boolean newValue)
Atomically sets to the given value and returns the previous value.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| newValue | boolean:
          the new value | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | the previous value | 
void lazySet (boolean newValue)
Eventually sets to the given value.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| newValue | boolean:
          the new value | 
void set (boolean newValue)
Unconditionally sets to the given value.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| newValue | boolean:
          the new value | 
String toString ()
Returns the String representation of the current value.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| String | the String representation of the current value | 
boolean weakCompareAndSet (boolean expect, 
                boolean update)
    
    
    
  Atomically sets the value to the given updated value
 if the current value == the expected value.
 
May fail
 spuriously and does not provide ordering guarantees, so is
 only rarely an appropriate alternative to compareAndSet.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| expect | boolean:
          the expected value | 
| update | boolean:
          the new value | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | trueif successful |
