The java.util.IdentityHashMap.clear() method in Java is used to clear and remove all of the elements or mappings from a specified map.
Syntax:
Identity_HashMap.clear()
Parameters: The method does not accept any parameters.
Return Value: The method does not return any value.
Below programs are used to illustrate the working of java.util.IdentityHashMap.clear() Method:
Program 1: Mapping String Values to Integer Keys.
// Java code to illustrate the clear() methodimport java.util.*; public class Identity_Hash_Map_Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating an empty IdentityHashMap IdentityHashMap<Integer, String> identity_hash = new IdentityHashMap<Integer, String>(); // Mapping string values to int keys identity_hash.put(10, "Geeks"); identity_hash.put(15, "4"); identity_hash.put(20, "Geeks"); identity_hash.put(25, "Welcomes"); identity_hash.put(30, "You"); // Displaying the IdentityHashMap System.out.println("Initial Mappings are: " + identity_hash); // Clearing the map using clear() identity_hash.clear(); // Displaying the final IdentityHashMap System.out.println("Final Map: " + identity_hash); }} |
Output:
Initial Mappings are: {10=Geeks, 30=You, 20=Geeks, 25=Welcomes, 15=4}
Final Map: {}
Program 2: Mapping Integer Values to String Keys.
// Java code to illustrate the clear() methodimport java.util.*; public class Identity_Hash_Map_Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating an empty IdentityHashMap Map<String, Integer> identity_hash = new IdentityHashMap<String, Integer>(); // Mapping int values to string keys identity_hash.put("Geeks", 10); identity_hash.put("4", 15); identity_hash.put("Geeks", 20); identity_hash.put("Welcomes", 25); identity_hash.put("You", 30); // Displaying the IdentityHashMap System.out.println("Initial Mappings are: " + identity_hash); // Clearing the map using clear() identity_hash.clear(); // Displaying the final IdentityHashMap System.out.println("Final Map: " + identity_hash); }} |
Output:
Initial Mappings are: {Geeks=20, Welcomes=25, You=30, 4=15}
Final Map: {}
Note: The same operation can be performed with any type of Mapping with variation and combination of different data types.
