STL_map——map::clear

Reference:
Erases all the elements of a map.

Function:
void clear( );

Example:

#include <map>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   map <int, int> m1;
   int i;
   typedef pair <int, int> Int_Pair;

   m1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 1, 1 ) );
   m1.insert ( Int_Pair ( 2, 4 ) );

   i = m1.size( );
   cout << "The size of the map is initially "
        << i  << "." << endl;

   m1.clear( );
   i = m1.size( );
   cout << "The size of the map after clearing is " 
        << i << "." << endl;
}

Output:
The size of the map is initially 2.
The size of the map after clearing is 0.
