Remove all elements from LinkedList

In the previous post, we have seen how to remove First and Last element from the LinkedList. In this post, we will see how to remove all elements from the linkedList.

We use the method clear() for removing all the elements from the LinkedList.

Syntax:

public void clear(): Removes all elements from the list.

Example:

import java.util.LinkedList;

public class LinkedListEx {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		LinkedList<String> fruits1 = new LinkedList<String>();
		fruits1.add("Orange");
		fruits1.add("Mango");
		fruits1.add("Apple");
		fruits1.add("Grapes");
		
		System.out.println("Before calling clear() method :"+ fruits1); //Remove Orange

		fruits1.clear();
		System.out.println("After calling clear() method :"+ fruits1);  //Remove Grapes
	}
}

Output:

Before calling clear() method :[Orange, Mango, Apple, Grapes]
After calling clear() method :[]
