Last Updated :

The Java.util.Stack.clear() method is used to remove all the elements from a Stack. Using the clear() method only clears all the element from the Stack and does not delete the Stack. In other words, we can say that the clear() method is used to only empty an existing Stack.
Syntax:
Stack.clear()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameter
Return Value: The function does not returns any value.
Below programs illustrate the Java.util.Stack.clear() method.
Example 1:
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
Stack<String> stack = new Stack<String>();
stack.add( "Welcome" );
stack.add( "To" );
stack.add( "Geeks" );
stack.add( "4" );
stack.add( "Geeks" );
System.out.println( "Stack: " + stack);
stack.clear();
System.out.println( "The final Stack: " + stack);
}
}
|
Output:
Stack: [Welcome, To, Geeks, 4, Geeks]
The final Stack: []
Example 2:
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String args[])
{
Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<Integer>();
stack.add( 10 );
stack.add( 15 );
stack.add( 30 );
stack.add( 20 );
stack.add( 5 );
System.out.println( "Stack: " + stack);
stack.clear();
System.out.println( "The final Stack: " + stack);
}
}

Output:
Stack: [10, 15, 30, 20, 5]
The final Stack: []
