Clear a HashMap of Integer, Integer Pair ExampleThe following example shows the usage of Java HashMap clear() method to clear a Map. We've created a Map object of Integer,Integer pair. Then few entries are added, map is printed. Using clear() method, map is cleared and printed again.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.HashMap; public class HashMapDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // create hash map HashMap<Integer,Integer> newmap = new HashMap<>(); // populate hash map newmap.put(1, 1); newmap.put(2, 2); newmap.put(3, 3); System.out.println("Initial map elements: " + newmap); // clear hash map newmap.clear(); System.out.println("Map elements after clear: " + newmap); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
Initial map elements: {1=1, 2=2, 3=3} Map elements after clear: {}Clear a HashMap of Integer, String Pair Example
The following example shows the usage of Java HashMap clear() method to clear a Map. We've created a Map object of Integer,String. Then few entries are added, map is printed. Using clear() method, map is cleared and printed again.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.HashMap; public class HashMapDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // create hash map HashMap<Integer,String> newmap = new HashMap<>(); // populate hash map newmap.put(1, "tutorials"); newmap.put(2, "point"); newmap.put(3, "is best"); System.out.println("Initial map elements: " + newmap); // clear hash map newmap.clear(); System.out.println("Map elements after clear: " + newmap); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
Initial map elements: {1=tutorials, 2=point, 3=is best} Map elements after clear: {}Clear a HashMap of Integer, Student Pair Example
The following example shows the usage of Java HashMap clear() method to clear a Map. We've created a Map object of Integer,Student. Then few entries are added, map is printed.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.HashMap; public class HashMapDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // create hash map HashMap<Integer,Student> newmap = new HashMap<>(); // populate hash map newmap.put(1, new Student(1, "Julie")); newmap.put(2, new Student(2, "Robert")); newmap.put(3, new Student(3, "Adam")); System.out.println("Initial map elements: " + newmap); // clear hash map newmap.clear(); System.out.println("Map elements after clear: " + newmap); } } class Student { int rollNo; String name; Student(int rollNo, String name){ this.rollNo = rollNo; this.name = name; } @Override public String toString() { return "[ " + this.rollNo + ", " + this.name + " ]"; } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
Initial map elements: {1=[ 1, Julie ], 2=[ 2, Robert ], 3=[ 3, Adam ]} Map elements after clear: {}
