A multiset is also sometimes called a <i>bag</i>. 032 * 033 * <p>Elements of a multiset that are equal to one another are referred to as <i>occurrences</i> of 034 * the same single element. The total number of occurrences of an element in a multiset is called 035 * the <i>count</i> of that element (the terms "frequency" and "multiplicity" are equivalent, but 036 * not used in this API). Since the count of an element is represented as an {@code int}, a multiset 037 * may never contain more than {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE} occurrences of any one element. 038 * 039 * <p>{@code Multiset} refines the specifications of several methods from {@code Collection}. It 040 * also defines an additional query operation, {@link #count}, which returns the count of an 041 * element. There are five new bulk-modification operations, for example {@link #add(Object, int)}, 042 * to add or remove multiple occurrences of an element at once, or to set the count of an element to 043 * a specific value. These modification operations are optional, but implementations which support 044 * the standard collection operations {@link #add(Object)} or {@link #remove(Object)} are encouraged 045 * to implement the related methods as well. Finally, two collection views are provided: {@link 046 * #elementSet} contains the distinct elements of the multiset "with duplicates collapsed", and 047 * {@link #entrySet} is similar but contains {@link Entry Multiset.Entry} instances, each providing 048 * both a distinct element and the count of that element. 049 * 050 * <p>In addition to these required methods, implementations of {@code Multiset} are expected to 051 * provide two {@code static} creation methods: {@code create()}, returning an empty multiset, and 052 * {@code create(Iterable<? extends E>)}, returning a multiset containing the given initial 053 * elements. This is simply a refinement of {@code Collection}'s constructor recommendations. 054 * 055 * <p>As with other collection types, the modification operations are optional, and should throw 056 * {@link UnsupportedOperationException} when they are not implemented. Most implementations should 057 * support either all add operations or none of them, all removal operations or none of them, and if 058 * and only if all of these are supported, the {@code setCount} methods as well. 059 * 060 * <p>A multiset uses {@link Object#equals} to determine whether two instances should be considered 061 * "the same," <i>unless specified otherwise</i> by the implementation. 062 * 063 * <p><b>Warning:</b> as with normal {@link Set}s, it is almost always a bad idea to modify an 064 * element (in a way that affects its {@link Object#equals} behavior) while it is contained in a 065 * multiset. Undefined behavior and bugs will result. 066 * 067 * <h3>Implementations</h3> 068 * 069 * <ul> 070 * <li>{@link ImmutableMultiset} 071 * <li>{@link ImmutableSortedMultiset} 072 * <li>{@link HashMultiset} 073 * <li>{@link LinkedHashMultiset} 074 * <li>{@link TreeMultiset} 075 * <li>{@link EnumMultiset} 076 * <li>{@link ConcurrentHashMultiset} 077 * </ul> 078 * 079 * <p>If your values may be zero, negative, or outside the range of an int, you may wish to use 080 * {@link com.google.common.util.concurrent.AtomicLongMap} instead.
