A multiset is also sometimes called a <i>bag</i>. 039 * 040 * <p>Elements of a multiset that are equal to one another are referred to as <i>occurrences</i> of 041 * the same single element. The total number of occurrences of an element in a multiset is called 042 * the <i>count</i> of that element (the terms "frequency" and "multiplicity" are equivalent, but 043 * not used in this API). Since the count of an element is represented as an {@code int}, a multiset 044 * may never contain more than {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE} occurrences of any one element. 045 * 046 * <p>{@code Multiset} refines the specifications of several methods from {@code Collection}. It 047 * also defines an additional query operation, {@link #count}, which returns the count of an 048 * element. There are five new bulk-modification operations, for example {@link #add(Object, int)}, 049 * to add or remove multiple occurrences of an element at once, or to set the count of an element to 050 * a specific value. These modification operations are optional, but implementations which support 051 * the standard collection operations {@link #add(Object)} or {@link #remove(Object)} are encouraged 052 * to implement the related methods as well. Finally, two collection views are provided: {@link 053 * #elementSet} contains the distinct elements of the multiset "with duplicates collapsed", and 054 * {@link #entrySet} is similar but contains {@link Entry Multiset.Entry} instances, each providing 055 * both a distinct element and the count of that element. 056 * 057 * <p>In addition to these required methods, implementations of {@code Multiset} are expected to 058 * provide two {@code static} creation methods: {@code create()}, returning an empty multiset, and 059 * {@code create(Iterable<? extends E>)}, returning a multiset containing the given initial 060 * elements. This is simply a refinement of {@code Collection}'s constructor recommendations, 061 * reflecting the new developments of Java 5. 062 * 063 * <p>As with other collection types, the modification operations are optional, and should throw 064 * {@link UnsupportedOperationException} when they are not implemented. Most implementations should 065 * support either all add operations or none of them, all removal operations or none of them, and if 066 * and only if all of these are supported, the {@code setCount} methods as well. 067 * 068 * <p>A multiset uses {@link Object#equals} to determine whether two instances should be considered 069 * "the same," <i>unless specified otherwise</i> by the implementation. 070 * 071 * <p><b>Warning:</b> as with normal {@link Set}s, it is almost always a bad idea to modify an 072 * element (in a way that affects its {@link Object#equals} behavior) while it is contained in a 073 * multiset. Undefined behavior and bugs will result. 074 * 075 * <p>Common implementations include {@link ImmutableMultiset}, {@link HashMultiset}, and {@link 076 * ConcurrentHashMultiset}. 077 * 078 * <p>If your values may be zero, negative, or outside the range of an int, you may wish to use 079 * {@link com.google.common.util.concurrent.AtomicLongMap} instead. Note, however, that unlike 080 * {@code Multiset}, {@code AtomicLongMap} does not automatically remove zeros. 081 * 082 * <p>See the Guava User Guide article on <a href= 083 * "https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/NewCollectionTypesExplained#multiset"> {@code 084 * Multiset}</a>. 085 * 086 * @author Kevin Bourrillion 087 * @since 2.0 088 */ 089@GwtCompatible 090@ElementTypesAreNonnullByDefault 091public interface Multiset<E extends @Nullable Object> extends Collection<E> { 092 // Query Operations 093 094 /** 095 * Returns the total number of all occurrences of all elements in this multiset. 096 * 097 * <p><b>Note:</b> this method does not return the number of <i>distinct elements</i> in the 098 * multiset, which is given by {@code entrySet().size()}. 099 */ 100 @Override 101 int size(); 102 103 /** 104 * Returns the number of occurrences of an element in this multiset (the <i>count</i> of the 105 * element).
