public abstract class ImmutableMultiset<E>

A Multiset whose contents will never change, with many other important properties detailed at ImmutableCollection.
Grouped iteration. In all current implementations, duplicate elements always appear consecutively when iterating. Elements iterate in order by the first appearance of that element when the multiset was created.

  - equals
```
public boolean equals(@Nullable Object object)
```
    Description copied from class: java.lang.Object
    Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
    The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:
    
    It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
    It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
    It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
    It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
    For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.
    
    The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x == y has the value true).
    Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - the reference object with which to compare.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
    
    See Also:
    
    Object.hashCode(), HashMap
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Description copied from class: java.lang.Object
    Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.
    The general contract of hashCode is:
    
    Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
    If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
    It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the Object.equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
    
    As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (The hashCode may or may not be implemented as some function of an object's memory address at some point in time.)
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a hash code value for this object.

  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Description copied from class: java.util.AbstractCollection
    
    Returns a string representation of this collection. The string representation consists of a list of the collection's elements in the order they are returned by its iterator, enclosed in square brackets ("[]"). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters ", " (comma and space). Elements are converted to strings as by String.valueOf(Object).
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class AbstractCollection<E>
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of this collection
  - elementSet
```
public abstract ImmutableSet<E> elementSet()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multiset
    
    Returns the set of distinct elements contained in this multiset. The element set is backed by the same data as the multiset, so any change to either is immediately reflected in the other. The order of the elements in the element set is unspecified.
    If the element set supports any removal operations, these necessarily cause all occurrences of the removed element(s) to be removed from the multiset. Implementations are not expected to support the add operations, although this is possible.
    A common use for the element set is to find the number of distinct elements in the multiset: elementSet().size().
    
    Specified by:
    
    elementSet in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Returns:
    
    a view of the set of distinct elements in this multiset
    
    Since:
    
    21.0 (present with return type Set since 2.0)
  - entrySet
```
public ImmutableSet<Multiset.Entry<E>> entrySet()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multiset
    
    Returns a view of the contents of this multiset, grouped into Multiset.Entry instances, each providing an element of the multiset and the count of that element. This set contains exactly one entry for each distinct element in the multiset (thus it always has the same size as the Multiset.elementSet()). The order of the elements in the element set is unspecified.
    The entry set is backed by the same data as the multiset, so any change to either is immediately reflected in the other. However, multiset changes may or may not be reflected in any Entry instances already retrieved from the entry set (this is implementation-dependent). Furthermore, implementations are not required to support modifications to the entry set at all, and the Entry instances themselves don't even have methods for modification. See the specific implementation class for more details on how its entry set handles modifications.
    
    Specified by:
    
    entrySet in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Returns:
    
    a set of entries representing the data of this multiset
  - builder
```
public static <E> ImmutableMultiset.Builder<E> builder()
```
    Returns a new builder. The generated builder is equivalent to the builder created by the ImmutableMultiset.Builder constructor.
