        // Check for the empty NavigableSet
        System.out.println("Is the NavigableSet empty? "
                           + st.isEmpty());
  
        // Clearing the NavigableSet using clear() method
        st.clear();
  
        // Again Checking for the empty NavigableSet
        System.out.println("Is the NavigableSet empty? "
