    - #### create

          public static <E> ConcurrentHashMultiset<E> create()

      Creates a new, empty `ConcurrentHashMultiset` using the default initial capacity, load factor, and concurrency settings.

    - #### create

          public static <E> ConcurrentHashMultiset<E> create(java.lang.Iterable<? extends E> elements)

      Creates a new `ConcurrentHashMultiset` containing the specified elements, using the default initial capacity, load factor, and concurrency settings.

      This implementation is highly efficient when `elements` is itself a `Multiset`.

      Parameters:
        `elements` - the elements that the multiset should contain

    - #### create

          @Beta
          public static <E> ConcurrentHashMultiset<E> create(MapMaker mapMaker)

      Creates a new, empty `ConcurrentHashMultiset` using `mapMaker` to construct the internal backing map.

      If this `MapMaker` is configured to use entry eviction of any kind, this eviction applies to all occurrences of a given element as a single unit. However, most updates to the multiset do not count as map updates at all, since we're usually just mutating the value stored in the map, so `MapMaker.expireAfterAccess(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)` makes sense (evict the entry that was queried or updated longest ago), but `MapMaker.expireAfterWrite(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)` doesn't, because the eviction time is measured from when we saw the first occurrence of the object.

      The returned multiset is serializable but any serialization caveats given in `MapMaker` apply.

      Finally, soft/weak values can be used but are not very useful: the values are created internally and not exposed externally, so no one else will have a strong reference to the values. Weak keys on the other hand can be useful in some scenarios.

      Since:
        15.0 (source compatible (accepting the since removed `GenericMapMaker` class) since 7.0)

    - #### count

          public int count(@Nullable
                  java.lang.Object element)

      Returns the number of occurrences of `element` in this multiset.
      Specified by:
        `count` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to look for
      Returns:
        the nonnegative number of occurrences of the element

    - #### size

          public int size()

      If the data in the multiset is modified by any other threads during this method, it is undefined which (if any) of these modifications will be reflected in the result.

      Specified by:
        `size` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`

    - #### toArray

          public java.lang.Object[] toArray()

      Specified by:
        `toArray` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `toArray` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`

    - #### toArray

          public <T> T[] toArray(T[] array)

      Specified by:
        `toArray` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `toArray` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`

    - #### add

          public int add(E element,
                int occurrences)

      Adds a number of occurrences of the specified element to this multiset.
      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to add
        `occurrences` - the number of occurrences to add
      Returns:
        the previous count of the element before the operation; possibly zero
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `occurrences` is negative, or if the resulting amount would exceed `Integer.MAX_VALUE`

    - #### remove

          public int remove(@Nullable
                   java.lang.Object element,
                   int occurrences)

      Removes a number of occurrences of the specified element from this multiset. If the multiset contains fewer than this number of occurrences to begin with, all occurrences will be removed.
      Specified by:
        `remove` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Parameters:
        `element` - the element whose occurrences should be removed
        `occurrences` - the number of occurrences of the element to remove
      Returns:
        the count of the element before the operation; possibly zero
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `occurrences` is negative

    - #### removeExactly

          public boolean removeExactly(@Nullable
                              java.lang.Object element,
                              int occurrences)

      Removes exactly the specified number of occurrences of `element`, or makes no change if this is not possible.

      This method, in contrast to `remove(Object, int)`, has no effect when the element count is smaller than `occurrences`.

      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to remove
        `occurrences` - the number of occurrences of `element` to remove
      Returns:
        `true` if the removal was possible (including if `occurrences` is zero)
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `occurrences` is negative

    - #### setCount

          public int setCount(E element,
                     int count)

      Adds or removes occurrences of `element` such that the `count(java.lang.Object)` of the element becomes `count`.
      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 `element` in the multiset before this call
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `count` is negative

    - #### setCount

          public boolean setCount(E element,
                         int expectedOldCount,
                         int newCount)

      Sets the number of occurrences of `element` to `newCount`, but only if the count is currently `expectedOldCount`. If `element` does not appear in the multiset exactly `expectedOldCount` times, no changes will be made.
      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
        `expectedOldCount` - the expected present count of the element in this multiset
        `newCount` - the desired count of the element in this multiset
      Returns:
        `true` if the change was successful. This usually indicates that the multiset has been modified, but not always: in the case that `expectedOldCount == newCount`, the method will return `true` if the condition was met.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `expectedOldCount` or `newCount` is negative

    - #### createEntrySet

          public java.util.Set<Multiset.Entry<E>> createEntrySet()

    - #### isEmpty

          public boolean isEmpty()

      Specified by:
        `isEmpty` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`

    - #### clear

          public void clear()

      Specified by:
        `clear` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`

    - #### contains

          public boolean contains(@Nullable
                         java.lang.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 `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `contains` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`
      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to check for
      Returns:
        `true` if this multiset contains at least one occurrence of the element

    - #### iterator

          public java.util.Iterator<E> iterator()

      Description copied from interface: `Multiset`

      Elements that occur multiple times in the multiset will appear multiple times in this iterator, though not necessarily sequentially.

      Specified by:
        `iterator` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Specified by:
        `iterator` in interface `java.lang.Iterable<E>`
      Specified by:
        `iterator` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Specified by:
        `iterator` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`

    - #### add

          public boolean add(@Nullable
                    E element)

      Description copied from interface: `Multiset`
      Adds a single occurrence of the specified element to this multiset.

      This method refines `Collection.add(E)`, which only ensures the presence of the element, to further specify that a successful call must always increment the count of the element, and the overall size of the collection, by one.

      To both add the element and obtain the previous count of that element, use `add``(element, 1)` instead.

      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `add` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`
      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to add one occurrence of; may be null only if explicitly allowed by the implementation
      Returns:
        `true` always, since this call is required to modify the multiset, unlike other `Collection` types

    - #### remove

          public boolean remove(@Nullable
                       java.lang.Object element)

      Description copied from interface: `Multiset`
      Removes a single occurrence of the specified element from this multiset, if present.

      This method refines `Collection.remove(java.lang.Object)` to further specify that it may not throw an exception in response to `element` being null or of the wrong type.

      To both remove the element and obtain the previous count of that element, use `remove``(element, 1)` instead.

      Specified by:
        `remove` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Specified by:
        `remove` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `remove` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`
      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to remove one occurrence of
      Returns:
        `true` if an occurrence was found and removed

    - #### addAll

          public boolean addAll(java.util.Collection<? extends E> elementsToAdd)

      This implementation is highly efficient when `elementsToAdd` is itself a `Multiset`.

      Specified by:
        `addAll` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `addAll` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`

    - #### removeAll

          public boolean removeAll(java.util.Collection<?> elementsToRemove)

      Description copied from interface: `Multiset`

      Note: This method ignores how often any element might appear in `c`, and only cares whether or not an element appears at all. If you wish to remove one occurrence in this multiset for every occurrence in `c`, see `Multisets.removeOccurrences(Multiset, Multiset)`.

      This method refines `Collection.removeAll(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.

      Specified by:
        `removeAll` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Specified by:
        `removeAll` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `removeAll` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`

    - #### retainAll

          public boolean retainAll(java.util.Collection<?> elementsToRetain)

      Description copied from interface: `Multiset`

      Note: This method ignores how often any element might appear in `c`, and only cares whether or not an element appears at all. If you wish to remove one occurrence in this multiset for every occurrence in `c`, see `Multisets.retainOccurrences(Multiset, Multiset)`.

      This method refines `Collection.retainAll(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.

      Specified by:
        `retainAll` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Specified by:
        `retainAll` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `retainAll` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`
      See Also:
        `Multisets.retainOccurrences(Multiset, Multiset)`

    - #### elementSet

          public java.util.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 java.util.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

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(@Nullable
                       java.lang.Object object)

      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.

      This implementation returns `true` if `object` is a multiset of the same size and if, for each element, the two multisets have the same count.

      Specified by:
        `equals` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Specified by:
        `equals` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      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.

      This implementation returns the hash code of `Multiset.entrySet()`.

      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in interface `java.util.Collection<E>`
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object`

    - #### toString

          public java.lang.String toString()

      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]`.

      This implementation returns the result of invoking `toString` on `Multiset.entrySet()`.

      Specified by:
        `toString` in interface `Multiset<E>`
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `java.util.AbstractCollection<E>`
