Multiset<E>, Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>

public class ImmutableMultiset<E>
extends ImmutableCollection<E>
implements Multiset<E>

An immutable hash-based multiset. Does not permit null elements.

Its iterator orders elements according to the first appearance of the element among the items passed to the factory method or builder. When the multiset contains multiple instances of an element, those instances are consecutive in the iteration order.

Method Detail

of

public static <E> ImmutableMultiset<E> of()
Returns the empty immutable multiset.


of

public static <E> ImmutableMultiset<E> of(E... elements)
Returns an immutable multiset containing the given elements.

The multiset is ordered by the first occurrence of each element. For example, ImmutableMultiset.of(2, 3, 1, 3) yields a multiset with elements in the order 2, 3, 3, 1.

Throws:
NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableMultiset<E> copyOf(Iterable<? extends E> elements)
Returns an immutable multiset containing the given elements.

The multiset is ordered by the first occurrence of each element. For example, ImmutableMultiset.copyOf(Arrays.asList(2, 3, 1, 3)) yields a multiset with elements in the order 2, 3, 3, 1.

Note that if c is a Collection<String>, then ImmutableMultiset.copyOf(c) returns an ImmutableMultiset<String> containing each of the strings in c, while ImmutableMultiset.of(c) returns an ImmutableMultiset<Collection<String>> containing one element (the given collection itself).

Note: Despite what the method name suggests, if elements is an ImmutableMultiset, no copy will actually be performed, and the given multiset itself will be returned.

Throws:
NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

copyOf

public static <E> ImmutableMultiset<E> copyOf(Iterator<? extends E> elements)
Returns an immutable multiset containing the given elements.

The multiset is ordered by the first occurrence of each element. For example, ImmutableMultiset.copyOf(Arrays.asList(2, 3, 1, 3).iterator()) yields a multiset with elements in the order 2, 3, 3, 1.

Throws:
NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

count

public int count(@Nullable
                 Object element)
Description copied from interface: Multiset
Returns the number of occurrences of an element in this multiset (the count of the element). Note that for an Object.equals(java.lang.Object)-based multiset, this gives the same result as Collections.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.

Specified by:
count in interface Multiset<E>
Parameters:
element - the element to count occurrences of
Returns:
the number of occurrences of the element in this multiset; possibly zero but never negative

iterator

public UnmodifiableIterator<E> iterator()
Description copied from class: ImmutableCollection
Returns an unmodifiable iterator across the elements in this collection.

Specified by:
iterator in interface Multiset<E>
Specified by:
iterator in interface Iterable<E>
Specified by:
iterator in interface Collection<E>
Specified by:
iterator in class ImmutableCollection<E>

size

public int size()
Specified by:
size in interface Collection<E>

contains

public boolean contains(@Nullable
                        Object element)
Description copied from interface: Multiset
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.

Specified by:
contains in interface Multiset<E>
Specified by:
contains in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:
contains in class ImmutableCollection<E>
Parameters:
element - the element to check for
Returns:
true if this multiset contains at least one occurrence of the element

add

public int add(E element,
               int occurrences)
Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the collection unmodified.

Specified by:
add in interface Multiset<E>
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:
UnsupportedOperationException - always

remove

public int remove(Object element,
                  int occurrences)
Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the collection unmodified.

Specified by:
remove in interface Multiset<E>
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
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - always

setCount

public int setCount(E element,
                    int count)
Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the collection unmodified.

Specified by:
setCount in interface Multiset<E>
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
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - always

setCount

public boolean setCount(E element,
                        int oldCount,
                        int newCount)
Guaranteed to throw an exception and leave the collection unmodified.

Specified by:
setCount in interface Multiset<E>
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:
true if the condition for modification was met. This implies that the multiset was indeed modified, unless oldCount == newCount.
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException - always

equals

public boolean equals(@Nullable
                      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 Multiset<E>
Specified by:
equals in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:
equals in class 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 Multiset<E>
Specified by:
hashCode in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object

toString

public 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 ImmutableCollection<E>

elementSet

public Set<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

entrySet

public Set<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.
