# wrappingAdd(_:ordering:)

Perform an atomic wrapping add operation and return the old and new value,
applying the specified memory ordering.

```
@discardableResult func wrappingAdd(_ operand: Int8, ordering: AtomicUpdateOrdering) -> (oldValue: Int8, newValue: Int8)
```

## Parameters

`operand`

An integer value.

`ordering`

The memory ordering to apply on this operation.

## Return Value

A tuple containing the original value before the operation and
the new value after the operation.

## Discussion> Note: This operation silently wraps around on overflow, like the
> `&+` operator does on `Int8` values.
