<P>
A multiset which maintains the ordering of its elements, according to either
their natural order or an explicit <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Comparator.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.util"><CODE>Comparator</CODE></A>. In all cases, this

equivalence of instances.
<p><b>Warning:</b> The comparison must be <i>consistent with equals</i> as
explained by the <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Comparable.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang"><CODE>Comparable</CODE></A> class specification. Otherwise, the

<DD>Returns a view of the contents of this multiset, grouped into <code>Multiset.Entry</code> instances, each providing an element of the multiset and

<p>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 <code>Entry</code> 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 <code>Entry</code> instances themselves don't
even have methods for modification. See the specific implementation class

<p>Invoking <A HREF="../../../../com/google/common/collect/Multiset.Entry.html#getCount()"><CODE>Multiset.Entry.getCount()</CODE></A> on an entry in the returned

Collections that support this operation may place limitations on what
elements may be added to this collection. In particular, some
collections will refuse to add <tt>null</tt> elements, and others will
impose restrictions on the type of elements that may be added.
Collection classes should clearly specify in their documentation any
restrictions on what elements may be added.<p>
If a collection refuses to add a particular element for any reason
other than that it already contains the element, it <i>must</i> throw
an exception (rather than returning <tt>false</tt>). This preserves
the invariant that a collection always contains the specified element
after this call returns.
<p>This implementation always throws an

<DL>
<DD>Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
<p>
The <code>equals</code> method implements an equivalence relation
on non-null object references:
<ul>
<li>It is <i>reflexive</i>: for any non-null reference value
<code>x</code>, <code>x.equals(x)</code> should return
<code>true</code>.
<li>It is <i>symmetric</i>: for any non-null reference values
<code>x</code> and <code>y</code>, <code>x.equals(y)</code>
should return <code>true</code> if and only if
<code>y.equals(x)</code> returns <code>true</code>.
<li>It is <i>transitive</i>: for any non-null reference values
<code>x</code>, <code>y</code>, and <code>z</code>, if
<code>x.equals(y)</code> returns <code>true</code> and
<code>y.equals(z)</code> returns <code>true</code>, then
<code>x.equals(z)</code> should return <code>true</code>.
<li>It is <i>consistent</i>: for any non-null reference values
<code>x</code> and <code>y</code>, multiple invocations of
<tt>x.equals(y)</tt> consistently return <code>true</code>
or consistently return <code>false</code>, provided no
information used in <code>equals</code> comparisons on the
objects is modified.
<li>For any non-null reference value <code>x</code>,
<code>x.equals(null)</code> should return <code>false</code>.
</ul>
<p>
The <tt>equals</tt> method for class <code>Object</code> implements
the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects;
that is, for any non-null reference values <code>x</code> and
<code>y</code>, this method returns <code>true</code> if and only
if <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> refer to the same object
(<code>x == y</code> has the value <code>true</code>).
<p>
Note that it is generally necessary to override the <tt>hashCode</tt>
method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the
general contract for the <tt>hashCode</tt> method, which states
that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
<p>This implementation returns <code>true</code> if <code>other</code> is a multiset
of the same size and if, for each element, the two multisets have the same
count.

application to another execution of the same application.
<li>If two objects are equal according to the <tt>equals(Object)</tt>
method, then calling the <code>hashCode</code> method on each of
the two objects must produce the same integer result.
<li>It is <em>not</em> required that if two objects are unequal
according to the <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html?is-external=true#equals(java.lang.Object)" title="class or interface in java.lang"><CODE>Object.equals(java.lang.Object)</CODE></A>
method, then calling the <tt>hashCode</tt> method on each of the
two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the
programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results
for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables.
</ul>
<p>
As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by
class <tt>Object</tt> does return distinct integers for distinct
objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal
address of the object into an integer, but this implementation
technique is not required by the
Java<font size="-2"><sup>TM</sup></font> programming language.)
