A MultiSet is a collection that can accommodate duplicate elements, unlike a Set. It does this by maintaining the total number of occurrences of each element in the collection.

Kotlin doesn’t provide MultiSet implementation, but we can write our own implementation of the MultiSet data structure. The following is a simple implementation of MultiSet in Kotlin that uses two Lists – one to store the distinct elements and another to store their counts.

[USA x 2, Japan x 3, India x 2, China x 2]
[USA x 2, Japan, India x 2, China]
[USA x 4, Japan x 5, India x 2, Mexico x 3]

That’s all about Multiset implementation in Kotlin.
