A multiset is also sometimes called a 038 * <i>bag</i>. 039 * 040 * <p>Elements of a multiset that are equal to one another are referred to as 041 * <i>occurrences</i> of the same single element. The total number of 042 * occurrences of an element in a multiset is called the <i>count</i> of that 043 * element (the terms "frequency" and "multiplicity" are equivalent, but not 044 * used in this API). Since the count of an element is represented as an {@code 045 * int}, a multiset may never contain more than {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE} 046 * occurrences of any one element. 047 * 048 * <p>{@code Multiset} refines the specifications of several methods from 049 * {@code Collection}. It also defines an additional query operation, {@link 050 * #count}, which returns the count of an element. There are five new 051 * bulk-modification operations, for example {@link #add(Object, int)}, to add 052 * or remove multiple occurrences of an element at once, or to set the count of 053 * an element to a specific value. These modification operations are optional, 054 * but implementations which support the standard collection operations {@link 055 * #add(Object)} or {@link #remove(Object)} are encouraged to implement the 056 * related methods as well. Finally, two collection views are provided: {@link 057 * #elementSet} contains the distinct elements of the multiset "with duplicates 058 * collapsed", and {@link #entrySet} is similar but contains {@link Entry 059 * Multiset.Entry} instances, each providing both a distinct element and the 060 * count of that element. 061 * 062 * <p>In addition to these required methods, implementations of {@code 063 * Multiset} are expected to provide two {@code static} creation methods: 064 * {@code create()}, returning an empty multiset, and {@code 065 * create(Iterable<? extends E>)}, returning a multiset containing the 066 * given initial elements. This is simply a refinement of {@code Collection}'s 067 * constructor recommendations, reflecting the new developments of Java 5. 068 * 069 * <p>As with other collection types, the modification operations are optional, 070 * and should throw {@link UnsupportedOperationException} when they are not 071 * implemented. Most implementations should support either all add operations 072 * or none of them, all removal operations or none of them, and if and only if 073 * all of these are supported, the {@code setCount} methods as well. 074 * 075 * <p>A multiset uses {@link Object#equals} to determine whether two instances 076 * should be considered "the same," <i>unless specified otherwise</i> by the 077 * implementation. 078 * 079 * <p>Common implementations include {@link ImmutableMultiset}, {@link 080 * HashMultiset}, and {@link ConcurrentHashMultiset}. 081 * 082 * <p>If your values may be zero, negative, or outside the range of an int, you 083 * may wish to use {@link com.google.common.util.concurrent.AtomicLongMap} 084 * instead.
