# Class AtomicInteger

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Number
java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class AtomicInteger extends Number implements Serializable
An `int` value that may be updated atomically. See the `VarHandle` specification for descriptions of the properties of atomic accesses. An `AtomicInteger` is used in applications such as atomically incremented counters, and cannot be used as a replacement for an `Integer`. However, this class does extend `Number` to allow uniform access by tools and utilities that deal with numerically-based classes.

  1.5
