package java.util.concurrent.atomic;
import sun.misc.Unsafe;

A long value that may be updated atomically. See the atomic package specification for description of the properties of atomic variables. An AtomicLong is used in applications such as atomically incremented sequence numbers, and cannot be used as a replacement for a Long. However, this class does extend Number to allow uniform access by tools and utilities that deal with numerically-based classes.
