Remove all mappings from Hashtable example – Java

Last Updated: September 11, 2022 by Chaitanya Singh | Filed Under: java

In the last tutorial we have seen how to remove a mapping from Hashtable based on key. In this tutorial we will learn how to remove all the mappings from Hashtable and make it empty.

Example

Method used in the below program: clear()

public void clear(): Clears this hashtable so that it contains no keys.

import java.util.Hashtable;

public class RemoveAllExample {
 
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 
    // Creating a Hashtable
    Hashtable<Integer, String> hashtable = new Hashtable<Integer, String>();
 
    // Adding Key and Value pairs to Hashtable
    hashtable.put(11,"AA");
    hashtable.put(22,"BB");
    hashtable.put(33,"CC");
    hashtable.put(44,"DD");
    hashtable.put(55,"EE");
 
    // Before remove
    System.out.println("Hashtable contains:" + hashtable);
 
    // Removing all mappings
    hashtable.clear();
 
    // After remove
    System.out.println("After remove:");
    System.out.println("Hashtable contains: " + hashtable);
 }
}

Output:

Hashtable contains:{55=EE, 44=DD, 33=CC, 22=BB, 11=AA}
After remove:
Hashtable contains: {}

As you can see all the key-value mappings have been removed from Hashtable and it became empty after calling clear() method.
