C# | Remove all elements from the Collection<T>
Collection<T>.Clear method is used to remove all elements from the Collection<T>.
Syntax:
public void Clear ();
Below given are some examples to understand the implementation in a better way:
Example 1:
// C# code to remove all // elements from the Collection using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Collections.ObjectModel; class GFG { // Driver code public static void Main() { // Creating a collection of strings Collection< string > myColl = new Collection< string >(); // Adding elements in Collection myColl myColl.Add( "A" ); myColl.Add( "B" ); myColl.Add( "C" ); myColl.Add( "D" ); myColl.Add( "E" ); // To print the count of elements in Collection Console.WriteLine( "Count : " + myColl.Count); // Displaying the elements in myColl foreach ( string str in myColl) { Console.WriteLine(str); } // Removing all the elements from Collection myColl.Clear(); // To print the count of elements in Collection Console.WriteLine( "Count : " + myColl.Count); // Displaying the elements in myColl foreach ( string str in myColl) { Console.WriteLine(str); } } } |
Output:
Count : 5 A B C D E Count : 0
Example 2:
// C# code to remove all // elements from the Collection using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Collections.ObjectModel; class GFG { // Driver code public static void Main() { // Creating a collection of ints Collection< int > myColl = new Collection< int >(); // Adding elements in Collection myColl myColl.Add(2); myColl.Add(3); myColl.Add(4); myColl.Add(5); // To print the count of elements in Collection Console.WriteLine( "Count : " + myColl.Count); // Displaying the elements in myColl foreach ( int i in myColl) { Console.WriteLine(i); } // Removing all the elements from Collection myColl.Clear(); // To print the count of elements in Collection Console.WriteLine( "Count : " + myColl.Count); // Displaying the elements in myColl foreach ( int i in myColl) { Console.WriteLine(i); } } } |
Output:
Count : 4 2 3 4 5 Count : 0
Note:
- Count is set to zero, and references to other objects from elements of the collection are also released.
- This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
