#     
#  Overview
Emptying a string in Ruby is done with the **`clear` method**.

It makes a string empty and returns an empty space.

#      
#  Syntax
```ruby
str.clear
```

#      
## Parameters
The `clear` method does not take any parameters, but it clears the contents of the string it is called upon.

##       
## Return value
Nothing is returned after a string has been emptied with the `clear` method.

##    
## Example
In the example below, we will create some strings and call the `clear` method on them.



# create some strings
str1 = "welcome"
str2 = "to"
str3 = "Edpresso"

# empty the strings
str1.clear
str2.clear
str3.clear

# print empty strings
puts str1
puts str2
puts str3

#       
## Explanation
In the code above: 
- Lines 1-4: We create three strings `str1`, `str2`, and `str3`.
- Lines 7-9: We call the `clear` method on `str1`, `str2`, and `str3`.
- Lines 12-14: We print `str1`, `str2`, and `str3`. As we can see, the strings are returned as empty, as the code has cleared all the content in the strings.
