034/**
035 * A collection that supports order-independent equality, like {@link Set}, but may have duplicate
036 * elements. A multiset is also sometimes called a <i>bag</i>.
037 *
038 * <p>Elements of a multiset that are equal to one another are referred to as <i>occurrences</i> of
039 * the same single element. The total number of occurrences of an element in a multiset is called
040 * the <i>count</i> of that element (the terms "frequency" and "multiplicity" are equivalent, but
041 * not used in this API). Since the count of an element is represented as an {@code int}, a multiset
042 * may never contain more than {@link Integer#MAX_VALUE} occurrences of any one element.
043 *
044 * <p>{@code Multiset} refines the specifications of several methods from {@code Collection}. It
045 * also defines an additional query operation, {@link #count}, which returns the count of an
046 * element. There are five new bulk-modification operations, for example {@link #add(Object, int)},
047 * to add or remove multiple occurrences of an element at once, or to set the count of an element to
048 * a specific value. These modification operations are optional, but implementations which support
049 * the standard collection operations {@link #add(Object)} or {@link #remove(Object)} are encouraged
050 * to implement the related methods as well. Finally, two collection views are provided: {@link
051 * #elementSet} contains the distinct elements of the multiset "with duplicates collapsed", and
052 * {@link #entrySet} is similar but contains {@link Entry Multiset.Entry} instances, each providing
053 * both a distinct element and the count of that element.
054 *
055 * <p>In addition to these required methods, implementations of {@code Multiset} are expected to
056 * provide two {@code static} creation methods: {@code create()}, returning an empty multiset, and
057 * {@code create(Iterable<? extends E>)}, returning a multiset containing the given initial
058 * elements. This is simply a refinement of {@code Collection}'s constructor recommendations.
059 *
060 * <p>As with other collection types, the modification operations are optional, and should throw
061 * {@link UnsupportedOperationException} when they are not implemented. Most implementations should
062 * support either all add operations or none of them, all removal operations or none of them, and if
063 * and only if all of these are supported, the {@code setCount} methods as well.
064 *
065 * <p>A multiset uses {@link Object#equals} to determine whether two instances should be considered
066 * "the same," <i>unless specified otherwise</i> by the implementation.
067 *
068 * <p><b>Warning:</b> as with normal {@link Set}s, it is almost always a bad idea to modify an
069 * element (in a way that affects its {@link Object#equals} behavior) while it is contained in a
070 * multiset. Undefined behavior and bugs will result.
071 *
072 * <h3>Implementations</h3>
073 *
074 * <ul>
075 *   <li>{@link ImmutableMultiset}
076 *   <li>{@link ImmutableSortedMultiset}
077 *   <li>{@link HashMultiset}
078 *   <li>{@link LinkedHashMultiset}
079 *   <li>{@link TreeMultiset}
080 *   <li>{@link EnumMultiset}
081 *   <li>{@link ConcurrentHashMultiset}
082 * </ul>
083 *
084 * <p>If your values may be zero, negative, or outside the range of an int, you may wish to use
085 * {@link com.google.common.util.concurrent.AtomicLongMap} instead. Note, however, that unlike
086 * {@code Multiset}, {@code AtomicLongMap} does not automatically remove zeros.
087 *
