pht\AtomicInteger::dec

(PECL pht >= 0.0.1)

pht\AtomicInteger::decDecrements the atomic integer's value by one

Description

public pht\AtomicInteger::dec ( void ) : void

This method will decrement the atomic integer's value by one. Internally, the mutex lock of the atomic integer will be acquired, and so there is no need to manually acquire it (unless this operation needs to be grouped with other operations on the same atomic integer - see the example in pht\AtomicInteger::lock() for a demonstration of this).

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

Return Values

No return value.

Examples

Example #1 Decrementing an atomic integer's value

<?php

use pht\AtomicInteger;

$atomicInteger = new AtomicInteger();

$atomicInteger->dec();
$atomicInteger->dec();

var_dump($atomicInteger->get());

The above example will output:

int(-2)
