/**
 *  The <tt>Bag</tt> class represents a bag (or multiset) of
 *  generic items. It supports insertion and iterating over the
 *  items in arbitrary order.
 *  <p>
 *  This implementation uses a singly-linked list with a static nested class Node.
 *  See {@link LinkedBag} for the version from the
 *  textbook that uses a non-static nested class.
 *  The <em>add</em>, <em>isEmpty</em>, and <em>size</em> operations
 *  take constant time. Iteration takes time proportional to the number of items.
 *  <p>
 *  For additional documentation, see <a href="http://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/13stacks">Section 1.3</a> of
 *  <i>Algorithms, 4th Edition</i> by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
