Discussion
Which of these statements about whether volatile makes an increment atomic is correct?
Answer: D
An increment expression is not an atomic action: it reads the value, adds one and writes it back, and two threads can interleave those steps and lose an update. volatile makes each individual read and write atomic and visible, which does not help across three of them. Compound updates need synchronization or a class from java.util.concurrent.atomic.
