The
clear()method of
java.util.AbstractListclass is used to remove all of the elements from this list. The list will be empty after this call returns.
Syntax:public void clear()Returns Value:
This method does not return anything. Below are the examples to illustrate the
clear()method.
Example 1: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// clear() method
// for String value
import java.util.*;
public class GFG1 {
public static void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception
{
try {
// Creating object of AbstractList<String>
AbstractList<String>
arrlist1 = new ArrayList<String>();
// Populating arrlist1
arrlist1.add("A");
arrlist1.add("B");
arrlist1.add("C");
arrlist1.add("D");
arrlist1.add("E");
// print the ArrayList
System.out.println("Original ArrayListlist : "
+ arrlist1);
// Removing all the elements
// using clear() method
arrlist1.clear();
// print the new ArrayList
System.out.println("New ArrayList : "
+ arrlist1);
}
catch (NullPointerException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : "
+ e);
}
}
}
Output:
Original ArrayListlist : [A, B, C, D, E] New ArrayList : []Example 2: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// clear() method
// for Integer value
import java.util.*;
public class GFG1 {
public static void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception
{
try {
// Creating object of AbstractList<Integer>
AbstractList<Integer>
arrlist1 = new ArrayList<Integer>();
// Populating arrlist1
arrlist1.add(10);
arrlist1.add(20);
arrlist1.add(30);
arrlist1.add(40);
arrlist1.add(50);
// print the ArrayList
System.out.println("Original ArrayListlist : "
+ arrlist1);
// Removing all the elements
// using clear() method
arrlist1.clear();
// print the new ArrayList
System.out.println("New ArrayList : "
+ arrlist1);
}
catch (NullPointerException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}
Output:
Original ArrayListlist : [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] New ArrayList : []
