Last Updated :

The java.util.WeakHashMap.clear() method in Java is used to clear and remove all of the elements or mappings from a specified map.
Syntax:
Weak_Hash_Map.clear()
Parameters: The method does not accept any parameters.
Return Value: The method does not return any value.
Below programs are used to illustrate the working of java.util.WeakHashMap.clear() Method:
Program 1: Mapping String Values to Integer Keys.
import java.util.*;
public class Weak_Hash_Map_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Map<Integer, String> weak_hash = new WeakHashMap<Integer, String>();
weak_hash.put( 10 , "Geeks" );
weak_hash.put( 15 , "4" );
weak_hash.put( 20 , "Geeks" );
weak_hash.put( 25 , "Welcomes" );
weak_hash.put( 30 , "You" );
System.out.println( "Initial Mappings are: "
+ weak_hash);
weak_hash.clear();
System.out.println( "Final Map: "
+ weak_hash);
}
}
|
Output:
Initial Mappings are: {30=You, 15=4, 10=Geeks, 25=Welcomes, 20=Geeks}
Final Map: {}
Program 2: Mapping Integer Values to String Keys.
import java.util.*;
public class Weak_Hash_Map_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Map<String, Integer> weak_hash = new WeakHashMap<String, Integer>();
weak_hash.put( "Geeks" , 10 );
weak_hash.put( "4" , 15 );
weak_hash.put( "Geeks" , 20 );
weak_hash.put( "Welcomes" , 25 );
weak_hash.put( "You" , 30 );
System.out.println( "Initial Mappings are: " + weak_hash);
weak_hash.clear();
System.out.println( "Final Map: "
+ weak_hash);
}
}
|
Output:
Initial Mappings are: {Welcomes=25, 4=15, You=30, Geeks=20}
Final Map: {}
Note: The same operation can be performed with any type of Mapping with variation and combination of different data types.
