Clearing the elements of a Stack in Javascript
Consider a simple stack class in Javascript.
Example
class Stack { constructor(maxSize) { // Set default max size if not provided if (isNaN(maxSize)) { maxSize = 10; } this.maxSize = maxSize; // Init an array that'll contain the stack values. this.container = []; } // A method just to see the contents while we develop this class display() { console.log(this.container); } // Checking if the array is empty isEmpty() { return this.container.length === 0; } // Check if array is full isFull() { return this.container.length >= maxSize; } push(element) { // Check if stack is full if (this.isFull()) { console.log("Stack Overflow!"); return; } this.container.push(element); } pop() { // Check if empty if (this.isEmpty()) { console.log("Stack Underflow!"); return; } this.container.pop(); } peek() { if (isEmpty()) { console.log("Stack Underflow!"); return; } return this.container[this.container.length - 1]; } }
Here the isFull function just checks if the length of a container is equal to or more than maxSize and returns accordingly. The isEmpty function checks if a size of the container is 0. The Push and Pop functions are used to add and remove new elements from the stack respectively.
In this section, we are going to add CLEAR operation in this class. We can clear the contents just by reassigning the container element to an empty array. For example,
Example
clear() { this.container = []; }
You can check if this function is working fine using −
Example
let s = new Stack(2); s.push(10); s.push(20); s.display(); s.clear(); s.display();
Output
This will give the output −
[10, 20] []
