Example:

In the example below, the java.util.EnumMap.clear() method is used to clear all mappings of the given map.

import java.util.*;

public class MyClass {
  
  //creating an enum
  public enum weekday{
    SUN, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //creating an EnumMap
    EnumMap<weekday,Integer> MyMap = 
        new EnumMap<weekday,Integer>(weekday.class);

    //associate values in the map
    MyMap.put(weekday.SUN, 0);
    MyMap.put(weekday.MON, 1);
    MyMap.put(weekday.TUE, 2);
    MyMap.put(weekday.WED, 3);
    MyMap.put(weekday.THU, 4);
    MyMap.put(weekday.FRI, 5);
    MyMap.put(weekday.SAT, 6);

    //printing EnumMap
    System.out.println("Before applying clear() method.");
    System.out.println("MyMap contains: " + MyMap);

    //using clear method to clear content of the EnumMap
    MyMap.clear();

    //printing EnumMap
    System.out.println("\nAfter applying clear() method."); 
    System.out.println("MyMap contains: " + MyMap);   
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

Before applying clear() method.
MyMap contains: {SUN=0, MON=1, TUE=2, WED=3, THU=4, FRI=5, SAT=6}

After applying clear() method.
MyMap contains: {}
