- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Multiset<E>,- Serializable,- Iterable<E>,- Collection<E>
Multiset implementation with predictable iteration order. Its iterator orders elements
 according to when the first occurrence of the element was added. When the multiset contains
 multiple instances of an element, those instances are consecutive in the iteration order. If all
 occurrences of an element are removed, after which that element is added to the multiset, the
 element will appear at the end of the iteration.
 See the Guava User Guide article on Multiset.

Method Details- 
createCreates a new, emptyLinkedHashMultisetusing the default initial capacity.
- 
createCreates a new, emptyLinkedHashMultisetwith the specified expected number of distinct elements.- Parameters:
- distinctElements- the expected number of distinct elements
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- if- distinctElementsis negative
 
- 
createpublic static <E extends @Nullable Object> LinkedHashMultiset<E> create(Iterable<? extends E> elements) Creates a newLinkedHashMultisetcontaining the specified elements.This implementation is highly efficient when elementsis itself aMultiset.- Parameters:
- elements- the elements that the multiset should contain
 
- 
countDescription copied from interface:MultisetReturns the number of occurrences of an element in this multiset (the count of the element). Note that for anObject.equals(java.lang.Object)-based multiset, this gives the same result asCollections.frequency(java.util.Collection<?>, java.lang.Object)(which would presumably perform more poorly).Note: the utility method Iterables.frequency(java.lang.Iterable<?>, java.lang.Object)generalizes this operation; it correctly delegates to this method when dealing with a multiset, but it can also accept any other iterable type.
- 
addAdds a number of occurrences of an element to this multiset. Note that ifoccurrences == 1, this method has the identical effect toMultiset.add(Object). This method is functionally equivalent (except in the case of overflow) to the calladdAll(Collections.nCopies(element, occurrences)), which would presumably perform much more poorly.- Specified by:
- addin interface- Multiset<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Parameters:
- element- the element to add occurrences of; may be null only if explicitly allowed by the implementation
- occurrences- the number of occurrences of the element to add. May be zero, in which case no change will be made.
- Returns:
- the count of the element before the operation; possibly zero
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- if the call would result in more than- Integer.MAX_VALUEoccurrences of- elementin this multiset.
 
- 
removeDescription copied from interface:MultisetRemoves a number of occurrences of the specified element from this multiset. If the multiset contains fewer than this number of occurrences to begin with, all occurrences will be removed. Note that ifoccurrences == 1, this is functionally equivalent to the callremove(element).- Specified by:
- removein interface- Multiset<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Parameters:
- element- the element to conditionally remove occurrences of
- occurrences- the number of occurrences of the element to remove. May be zero, in which case no change will be made.
- Returns:
- the count of the element before the operation; possibly zero
 
- 
setCountDescription copied from interface:MultisetAdds or removes the necessary occurrences of an element such that the element attains the desired count.- Specified by:
- setCountin interface- Multiset<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Parameters:
- element- the element to add or remove occurrences of; may be null only if explicitly allowed by the implementation
- count- the desired count of the element in this multiset
- Returns:
- the count of the element before the operation; possibly zero
 
- 
setCountDescription copied from interface:MultisetConditionally sets the count of an element to a new value, as described inMultiset.setCount(Object, int), provided that the element has the expected current count. If the current count is notoldCount, no change is made.- Specified by:
- setCountin interface- Multiset<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Parameters:
- element- the element to conditionally set the count of; may be null only if explicitly allowed by the implementation
- oldCount- the expected present count of the element in this multiset
- newCount- the desired count of the element in this multiset
- Returns:
- trueif the condition for modification was met. This implies that the multiset was indeed modified, unless- oldCount == newCount.
 
- 
clearpublic final void clear()- Specified by:
- clearin interface- Collection<E extends @Nullable Object>
 
- 
iteratorDescription copied from interface:MultisetElements that occur multiple times in the multiset will appear multiple times in this iterator, though not necessarily sequentially. 
- 
sizepublic final int size()Description copied from interface:MultisetReturns the total number of all occurrences of all elements in this multiset.Note: this method does not return the number of distinct elements in the multiset, which is given by entrySet().size().
- 
isEmptypublic boolean isEmpty()- Specified by:
- isEmptyin interface- Collection<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Overrides:
- isEmptyin class- AbstractCollection<E extends @Nullable Object>
 
- 
containsDescription copied from interface:MultisetDetermines 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 toelementbeing null or of the wrong type.- Specified by:
- containsin interface- Collection<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Specified by:
- containsin interface- Multiset<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Overrides:
- containsin class- AbstractCollection<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Parameters:
- element- the element to check for
- Returns:
- trueif this multiset contains at least one occurrence of the element
 
- 
addDescription copied from interface:MultisetAdds a single occurrence of the specified element to this multiset.This method refines Collection.add(E), which only ensures the presence of the element, to further specify that a successful call must always increment the count of the element, and the overall size of the collection, by one.To both add the element and obtain the previous count of that element, use add(element, 1)instead.- Specified by:
- addin interface- Collection<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Specified by:
- addin interface- Multiset<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Overrides:
- addin class- AbstractCollection<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Parameters:
- element- the element to add one occurrence of; may be null only if explicitly allowed by the implementation
- Returns:
- truealways, since this call is required to modify the multiset, unlike other- Collectiontypes
 
- 
removeDescription copied from interface:MultisetRemoves a single occurrence of the specified element from this multiset, if present.This method refines Collection.remove(java.lang.Object)to further specify that it may not throw an exception in response toelementbeing null or of the wrong type.To both remove the element and obtain the previous count of that element, use remove(element, 1)instead.- Specified by:
- removein interface- Collection<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Specified by:
- removein interface- Multiset<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Overrides:
- removein class- AbstractCollection<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Parameters:
- element- the element to remove one occurrence of
- Returns:
- trueif an occurrence was found and removed
 
- 
addAllThis implementation is highly efficient when elementsToAddis itself aMultiset.- Specified by:
- addAllin interface- Collection<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Overrides:
- addAllin class- AbstractCollection<E extends @Nullable Object>
 
- 
removeAllDescription copied from interface:MultisetNote: This method ignores how often any element might appear in c, and only cares whether or not an element appears at all. If you wish to remove one occurrence in this multiset for every occurrence inc, seeMultisets.removeOccurrences(Multiset, Multiset).This method refines Collection.removeAll(java.util.Collection<?>)to further specify that it may not throw an exception in response to any ofelementsbeing null or of the wrong type.
- 
retainAllDescription copied from interface:MultisetNote: This method ignores how often any element might appear in c, and only cares whether or not an element appears at all. If you wish to remove one occurrence in this multiset for every occurrence inc, seeMultisets.retainOccurrences(Multiset, Multiset).This method refines Collection.retainAll(java.util.Collection<?>)to further specify that it may not throw an exception in response to any ofelementsbeing null or of the wrong type.
- 
elementSetDescription copied from interface:MultisetReturns 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:
- elementSetin interface- Multiset<E extends @Nullable Object>
- Returns:
- a view of the set of distinct elements in this multiset
 
- 
entrySetDescription copied from interface:MultisetReturns a view of the contents of this multiset, grouped intoMultiset.Entryinstances, 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 theMultiset.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 Entryinstances 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 theEntryinstances themselves don't even have methods for modification. See the specific implementation class for more details on how its entry set handles modifications.
- 
equalsCompares the specified object with this multiset for equality. Returnstrueif the given object is also a multiset and contains equal elements with equal counts, regardless of order.This implementation returns trueifobjectis a multiset of the same size and if, for each element, the two multisets have the same count.
- 
hashCodepublic final int hashCode()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. This implementation returns the hash code of Multiset.entrySet().
- 
toStringIt is recommended, though not mandatory, that this method return the result of invoking Multiset.toString()on theMultiset.entrySet(), yielding a result such as[a x 3, c, d x 2, e].This implementation returns the result of invoking toStringonMultiset.entrySet().
