The clear() method of p5.TypedDict in p5.js is used to remove all the key-value pairs in the typed dictionary. A key-value pair is a set of two values that are mapped to each other. These values can be accessed by querying this dictionary using the key portion of the pair. A typed dictionary can store multiple key-value pairs that can be accessed using the methods of the dictionary.
Syntax:Â
clear()
Parameters:Â This method does not accept any parameters.
The example below illustrates the clear() method in p5.js:
Example:
Javascript
function setup() {   createCanvas(550, 500);   textSize(16);     let tmpObj = {     "Statue of Unity": "182 m",     "Spring Temple Buddha": "128 m",     "Ushiku Daibutsu": "100 m",     "Great Buddha of Thailand": "92m"  };     // Create a new dictionary   let stringDict =       createStringDict(tmpObj);   text("New string dictionary created " +        "with four keys", 20, 40);     // Check for a key   let existOne =       stringDict.hasKey('Spring Temple Buddha');   text("Dictionary has key " +        "'Spring Temple Buddha': " +        existOne, 20, 80);     // Check the current size   let currSize = stringDict.size();   text("Current size of the dictionary: " +        currSize, 20, 100);     // Clear the dictionary   stringDict.clear();   text("Dictionary has been cleared!",        20, 140);     // Check for a key again   existOne =     stringDict.hasKey('Spring Temple Buddha');   text("Dictionary has key " +        "'Spring Temple Buddha': " +        existOne, 20, 180);     // Check the current size again   currSize = stringDict.size();   text("Current size of the dictionary: " +        currSize, 20, 200); } |
