A multiset is also sometimes called a <i>bag</i>. 038 * 039 * <p>Elements of a multiset that are equal to one another are referred to as <i>occurrences</i> of 040 * the same single element. The total number of occurrences of an element in a multiset is called 041 * the <i>count</i> of that element (the terms "frequency" and "multiplicity" are equivalent, but 042 * not used in this API). Since the count of an element is represented as an {@code int}, a multiset 043 * may never contain more than {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE} occurrences of any one element. 044 * 045 * <p>{@code Multiset} refines the specifications of several methods from {@code Collection}. It 046 * also defines an additional query operation, {@link #count}, which returns the count of an 047 * element. There are five new bulk-modification operations, for example {@link #add(Object, int)}, 048 * to add or remove multiple occurrences of an element at once, or to set the count of an element to 049 * a specific value. These modification operations are optional, but implementations which support 050 * the standard collection operations {@link #add(Object)} or {@link #remove(Object)} are encouraged 051 * to implement the related methods as well. Finally, two collection views are provided: {@link 052 * #elementSet} contains the distinct elements of the multiset "with duplicates collapsed", and 053 * {@link #entrySet} is similar but contains {@link Entry Multiset.Entry} instances, each providing 054 * both a distinct element and the count of that element. 055 * 056 * <p>In addition to these required methods, implementations of {@code Multiset} are expected to 057 * provide two {@code static} creation methods: {@code create()}, returning an empty multiset, and 058 * {@code create(Iterable<? extends E>)}, returning a multiset containing the given initial 059 * elements. This is simply a refinement of {@code Collection}'s constructor recommendations, 060 * reflecting the new developments of Java 5. 061 * 062 * <p>As with other collection types, the modification operations are optional, and should throw 063 * {@link UnsupportedOperationException} when they are not implemented. Most implementations should 064 * support either all add operations or none of them, all removal operations or none of them, and if 065 * and only if all of these are supported, the {@code setCount} methods as well. 066 * 067 * <p>A multiset uses {@link Object#equals} to determine whether two instances should be considered 068 * "the same," <i>unless specified otherwise</i> by the implementation. 069 * 070 * <p>Common implementations include {@link ImmutableMultiset}, {@link HashMultiset}, and {@link 071 * ConcurrentHashMultiset}. 072 * 073 * <p>If your values may be zero, negative, or outside the range of an int, you may wish to use 074 * {@link com.google.common.util.concurrent.AtomicLongMap} instead. Note, however, that unlike 075 * {@code Multiset}, {@code AtomicLongMap} does not automatically remove zeros. 076 * 077 * <p>See the Guava User Guide article on <a href= 078 * "https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/NewCollectionTypesExplained#multiset"> {@code 079 * Multiset}</a>. 080 * 081 * @author Kevin Bourrillion 082 * @since 2.0 083 */ 084@GwtCompatible 085public interface Multiset<E> extends Collection<E> { 086 // Query Operations 087 088 /** 089 * Returns the total number of all occurrences of all elements in this multiset. 090 * 091 * <p><b>Note:</b> this method does not return the number of <i>distinct elements</i> in the 092 * multiset, which is given by {@code entrySet().size()}. 093 */ 094 @Override 095 int size(); 096 097 /** 098 * Returns the number of occurrences of an element in this multiset (the <i>count</i> of the 099 * element).
