/**
 * PN-Counter (Positive-Negative Counter) is a state-based CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type)
 * designed for tracking counts with both increments and decrements in a distributed and concurrent environment.
 * It combines two G-Counters, one for increments (P) and one for decrements (N).
 * The total count is obtained by subtracting the value of the decrement counter from the increment counter.
 * This implementation supports incrementing, decrementing, querying the total count,
 * comparing with other PN-Counters, and merging with another PN-Counter
 * to compute the element-wise maximum for both increment and decrement counters.
