Answer
Atomic classes support lock-free thread-safe operations on single variables.
Java provides a set of Atomic classes like AtomicInteger and AtomicReference, which allow for lock-free, thread-safe operations on single variables. They use low-level atomic CPU instructions to ensure operations like increment are performed atomically, making them ideal for counters during a flash sale.
