In mathematics, a multiset (sometimes also called a bag) differs from a set in that each member has a multiplicity, which is a natural number indicating (loosely speaking) how many times it is a member, or perhaps how many memberships it has in the multiset. For example, in the multiset { a, a, b, b, b, c }, the multiplicities of the members a, b, and c are respectively 2, 3, and 1.
