Below is an example of the Set.clear() method.
Javascript
// Create a new set using Set() constructor let myset = new Set(); // Append new elements to the // set using add() method myset.add(23); // Print the modified set console.log(myset); console.log(myset.size); // The clear() method will remove // all elements from the set myset.clear(); // This will return 0 as there // are no elements present in the Set console.log(myset.size); |
