Remove all elements from Java NavigableMap

Use the clear() method to remove all elements from NavigableMap in Java.

First, let us create NavigableMap −

NavigableMap<Integer, String> n = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();

Add elements to the NavigableMap −

n.put(5, "Tom");
n.put(9, "John");
n.put(14, "Jamie");
n.put(1, "Tim");
n.put(4, "Jackie");
n.put(15, "Kurt");
n.put(19, "Tiger");
n.put(24, "Jacob");

Remove all elements −

n.clear();

The following is an example to remove all elements from Java NavigableMap −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.util.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      NavigableMap<Integer, String> n = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
      n.put(5, "Tom");
      n.put(9, "John");
      n.put(14, "Jamie");
      n.put(1, "Tim");
      n.put(4, "Jackie");
      n.put(15, "Kurt");
      n.put(19, "Tiger");
      n.put(24, "Jacob");
      System.out.println("NavigableMap elements...\n"+n);
      System.out.println("Size = "+n.size());
      // remove all elements
      n.clear();
      System.out.println("\nUpdated NavigableMap elements = "+n);
      System.out.println("Size = "+n.size());
   }
}

Output

NavigableMap elements...
{1=Tim, 4=Jackie, 5=Tom, 9=John, 14=Jamie, 15=Kurt, 19=Tiger, 24=Jacob}
Size = 8
Updated NavigableMap elements = {}
Size = 0
