# We expect to get exactly 50,000 operations. Had we
# used the non-atomic `ops++` to increment the counter,
# we'd likely get a different number, changing between
# runs, because the goroutines would interfere with
# each other. Moreover, we'd get data race failures
# when running with the `-race` flag.
$ go run atomic-counters.go
ops: 50000

# Next we'll look at mutexes, another tool for managing
