Java - Delete all elements from a TreeMap

The method clear() is used to remove any element in the map structure in Java. After calling this method, the list TreeMap becomes empty.

package codeurjava. TreeMap; 

import java.util.TreeMap;

public class TreeMapCopy {

public static void main(String a[]){
TreeMap hmap = new TreeMap();
//add key-value peers
hmap.put(1, "one");
hmap.put(2, "two");
hmap.put(3,"three");
hmap.put(4,"four");
hmap.put(5,"five");
hmap.put(6,"six");

System.out.println("TreeMap before: "+hmap);

System.out.println("Empty TreeMap");
hmap.clear();

System.out.println("TreeMap after: "+hmap);
}
}
Runtime:

TreeMap before: {1=one, 2=two, 3=three, 4=four, 5=five, 6=six}
Empty TreeMap
TreeMap after: {}
