The Java.util.Vector.clear() method is used to remove all the elements from a Vector. Using the clear() method only clears all the element from the vector and does not delete the vector. In other words, we can say that the clear() method is used to only empty an existing vector. Syntax:
Vector.clear()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameter Return Value: The function does not returns any value. Below programs illustrate the Java.util.Vector.clear() method. Example 1:
Java
// Java code to illustrate clear() import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String args[]) { // Creating an empty Vector Vector<String> vt = new Vector<String>(); // Use add() method to add elements into the Vector vt.add("Welcome"); vt.add("To"); vt.add("Geeks"); vt.add(" 4 "); vt.add("Geeks"); // Displaying the Vector System.out.println("Vector: " + vt); // Clearing the Vector using clear() method vt.clear(); // Displaying the final vector after clearing; System.out.println("The final Vector: " + vt); } } |
Vector: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks] The final Vector: []
Example 2:
Java
// Java code to illustrate clear() import java.util.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String args[]) { // Creating an empty Vector Vector<Integer> vt = new Vector<Integer>(); // Use add() method to add elements into the Queue vt.add( 10 ); vt.add( 15 ); vt.add( 30 ); vt.add( 20 ); vt.add( 5 ); // Displaying the Vector System.out.println("Vector: " + vt); // Clearing the Vector using clear() method vt.clear(); // Displaying the final vector after clearing; System.out.println("The final Vector: " + vt); } } |
Vector: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5] The final Vector: []
Time complexity: O(n). // n is the size of the vector.
Auxiliary Space: O(n).
