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.

    Determines whether this multiset contains the specified element.
    This method refines Collection.contains(java.lang.Object) to further specify that it may not throw an exception in response to element being null or of the wrong type.

    newCount - the desired count of the element in this multiset

```
public boolean equals(@CheckForNull
                      java.lang.Object object)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multiset
    
    Compares the specified object with this multiset for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a multiset and contains equal elements with equal counts, regardless of order.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface java.util.Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multiset
    Returns the hash code for this multiset. This is defined as the sum of
    ((element == null) ? 0 : element.hashCode()) ^ count(element)
    
    over all distinct elements in the multiset. It follows that a multiset and its entry set always have the same hash code.
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface java.util.Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multiset
    
    It is recommended, though not mandatory, that this method return the result of invoking Multiset.toString() on the Multiset.entrySet(), yielding a result such as [a x 3, c, d x 2, e].
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
  - 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.
