Class ForwardingMultiset<E>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    <E>, <E>
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ForwardingSortedMultiset, ForwardingSortedMultiset.StandardDescendingMultiset
    @GwtCompatible
public abstract class ForwardingMultiset<E>
extends ForwardingCollection<E>
implements Multiset<E>
    A multiset which forwards all its method calls to another multiset. Subclasses should override one or more methods to modify the behavior of the backing multiset as desired per the .

    Warning: The methods of ForwardingMultiset forward indiscriminately to the methods of the delegate. For example, overriding add(Object, int) alone will not change the behavior of ForwardingCollection.add(Object), which can lead to unexpected behavior. In this case, you should override add(Object) as well, either providing your own implementation, or delegating to the provided standardAdd method.

    default method warning: This class does not forward calls to default methods. Instead, it inherits their default implementations. When those implementations invoke methods, they invoke methods on the ForwardingMultiset.

    The standard methods and any collection views they return are not guaranteed to be thread-safe, even when all of the methods that they depend on are thread-safe.

      • delegate

        protected abstract Multiset<E> delegate()
        Description copied from class: ForwardingObject
        Returns the backing delegate instance that methods are forwarded to. Abstract subclasses generally override this method with an abstract method that has a more specific return type, such as ForwardingSet.delegate(). Concrete subclasses override this method to supply the instance being decorated.
        Specified by:
        delegate in class ForwardingCollection<E>

      • count

        public int  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 -based multiset, this gives the same result as (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

      • add

        public int add​(E element,
               int occurrences)
        Description copied from interface: Multiset
        Adds a number of occurrences of an element to this multiset. Note that if occurrences == 1, this method has the identical effect to Multiset.add(Object). This method is functionally equivalent (except in the case of overflow) to the call addAll(Collections.nCopies(element, occurrences)), which would presumably perform much more poorly.
        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

      • remove

        public int  element,
                  int occurrences)
        Description copied from interface: Multiset
        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. Note that if occurrences == 1, this is functionally equivalent to the call remove(element).
        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

      • elementSet

        public <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 <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   object)
        Description copied from class: 
        Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

        The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

        • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
        • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
        • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
        • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
        • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

        The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x == y has the value true).

        Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.

        Specified by:
         in interface <E>
        Specified by:
        equals in interface Multiset<E>
        Overrides:
         in class 
        Parameters:
        object - the reference object with which to compare.
        Returns:
        true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Description copied from class: 
        Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by .

        The general contract of hashCode is:

        • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
        • If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
        • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the method, then calling the hashCode 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 hash tables.

        As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (The hashCode may or may not be implemented as some function of an object's memory address at some point in time.)

        Specified by:
         in interface <E>
        Specified by:
        hashCode in interface Multiset<E>
        Overrides:
         in class 
        Returns:
        a hash code value for this object.

      • setCount

        public int setCount​(E element,
                    int count)
        Description copied from interface: Multiset
        Adds or removes the necessary occurrences of an element such that the element attains the desired 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 the element before the operation; possibly zero

      • setCount

        public boolean setCount​(E element,
                        int oldCount,
                        int newCount)
        Description copied from interface: Multiset
        Conditionally sets the count of an element to a new value, as described in Multiset.setCount(Object, int), provided that the element has the expected current count. If the current count is not oldCount, no change is 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
        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.
