public abstract 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.
See the Guava User Guide article on immutable collections.

    Returns an immutable multiset containing the given elements.
    The multiset is ordered by the first occurrence of each element. For example, ImmutableMultiset.copyOf([2, 3, 1, 3]) yields a multiset with elements in the order 2, 3, 3, 1.

public static <E> ImmutableMultiset<E> copyOf(java.lang.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.
    Despite the method name, this method attempts to avoid actually copying the data when it is safe to do so. The exact circumstances under which a copy will or will not be performed are undocumented and subject to change.
    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:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if any of elements is null
  - copyOf
```
public static <E> ImmutableMultiset<E> copyOf(java.util.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:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if any of elements is null

  - contains
```
public boolean contains(@Nullable
                        java.lang.Object object)
```
    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 java.util.Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    contains in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    contains in class ImmutableCollection<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - the element to check for
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this multiset contains at least one occurrence of the element
  - containsAll
```
public boolean containsAll(java.util.Collection<?> targets)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multiset
    
    Returns true if this multiset contains at least one occurrence of each element in the specified collection.
    This method refines Collection.containsAll(java.util.Collection<?>) to further specify that it may not throw an exception in response to any of elements being null or of the wrong type.
    Note: this method does not take into account the occurrence count of an element in the two collections; it may still return true even if elements contains several occurrences of an element and this multiset contains only one. This is no different than any other collection type like List, but it may be unexpected to the user of a multiset.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsAll in interface java.util.Collection<E>
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsAll in interface Multiset<E>
    
    Overrides:
    
    containsAll in class java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
    
    Parameters:
    
    targets - the collection of elements to be checked for containment in this multiset
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this multiset contains at least one occurrence of each element contained in elements

    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:

    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 java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
  - entrySet
```
public ImmutableSet<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.
