clear

include map.e 
namespace map 
public procedure clear(map the_map_p) 

removes all entries in a map.

Parameters:

1. the_map_p : the map to operate on

Comments:

• This is much faster than removing each entry individually.
• If you need to remove just one entry, see remove

Example 1:

map the_map_p 
the_map_p = new() 
put(the_map_p, "Amy", 66.9) 
put(the_map_p, "Betty", 67.8) 
put(the_map_p, "Claire", 64.1) 
... 
clear(the_map_p) 
-- the_map_p is now an empty map again
