No. The statement i++ is not an Atomic operation. It has more than

one operation.

First JVM loads the current value of i in memory. Then it

increments it. Finally it stores the new value back into variable i.

The current thread that executes this operation may be interrupted

between any of the above-mentioned three steps. Therefore it is not

an atomic operation
