DoubleAccumulator

open class DoubleAccumulator : Number, Serializable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ kotlin.Number
   ↳ java.util.concurrent.atomic.DoubleAccumulator

One or more variables that together maintain a running double value updated using a supplied function. When updates (method accumulate) are contended across threads, the set of variables may grow dynamically to reduce contention. Method get (or, equivalently, doubleValue) returns the current value across the variables maintaining updates.

This class is usually preferable to alternatives when multiple threads update a common value that is used for purposes such as summary statistics that are frequently updated but less frequently read.

The supplied accumulator function should be side-effect-free, since it may be re-applied when attempted updates fail due to contention among threads. For predictable results, the accumulator function should be commutative and associative within the floating point tolerance required in usage contexts. The function is applied with an existing value (or identity) as one argument, and a given update as the other argument. For example, to maintain a running maximum value, you could supply Double::max along with Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY as the identity. The order of accumulation within or across threads is not guaranteed. Thus, this class may not be applicable if numerical stability is required, especially when combining values of substantially different orders of magnitude.

Class DoubleAdder provides analogs of the functionality of this class for the common special case of maintaining sums. The call new DoubleAdder() is equivalent to new DoubleAccumulator((x, y) -> x + y, 0.0).

This class extends Number, but does not define methods such as equals, hashCode and compareTo because instances are expected to be mutated, and so are not useful as collection keys.

Summary

Public constructors

DoubleAccumulator

Added in API level 24
DoubleAccumulator(
    accumulatorFunction: DoubleBinaryOperator!,
    identity: Double)

Creates a new instance using the given accumulator function and identity element.

Parameters
accumulatorFunction DoubleBinaryOperator!: a side-effect-free function of two arguments
identity Double: identity (initial value) for the accumulator function

Public methods

accumulate

Added in API level 24
open fun accumulate(x: Double): Unit

Updates with the given value.

Parameters
x Double: the value

get

Added in API level 24
open fun get(): Double

Returns the current value. The returned value is NOT an atomic snapshot; invocation in the absence of concurrent updates returns an accurate result, but concurrent updates that occur while the value is being calculated might not be incorporated.

Return
Double the current value

getThenReset

Added in API level 24
open fun getThenReset(): Double

Equivalent in effect to get followed by reset. This method may apply for example during quiescent points between multithreaded computations. If there are updates concurrent with this method, the returned value is not guaranteed to be the final value occurring before the reset.

Return
Double the value before reset

reset

Added in API level 24
open fun reset(): Unit

Resets variables maintaining updates to the identity value. This method may be a useful alternative to creating a new updater, but is only effective if there are no concurrent updates. Because this method is intrinsically racy, it should only be used when it is known that no threads are concurrently updating.

toDouble

Added in API level 24
open fun toDouble(): Double

Equivalent to get.

Return
Double the current value

toFloat

Added in API level 24
open fun toFloat(): Float

Returns the current value as a float after a narrowing primitive conversion.

Return
Float the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type float.

toInt

Added in API level 24
open fun toInt(): Int

Returns the current value as an int after a narrowing primitive conversion.

Return
Int the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type int.

toLong

Added in API level 24
open fun toLong(): Long

Returns the current value as a long after a narrowing primitive conversion.

Return
Long the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type long.

toString

Added in API level 24
open fun toString(): String

Returns the String representation of the current value.

Return
String the String representation of the current value
