#    
#  Overview
The **`clear()` method** in Ruby is used to clear or remove all the elements in an array. This is a simple method in Ruby that is very easy to use and understand.

## Syntax
```ruby
array.clear()
```
## Parameters
 The `clear()` method does not accept any parameters. 

## Return value
The `clear()` method returns an empty array when called on an array.

##   
## Code
In the code example below, several arrays are created. One by one, we call the `clear()` method on them, and what is left of the arrays is logged to the console.


# create arrays
arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
arr2 = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
arr3 = ["Ruby", "Java", "JavaScript", "Python"]
arr4 = ["1ab", "2cd", "3ef", "4gh", "5ij"]
arr5 = [nil, "nil", "true", "false", true]

# call the clear() method on the arrays
a = arr1.clear()
b = arr2.clear()
c = arr3.clear()
d = arr4.clear()
e = arr5.clear()

# log returned values to console
# Empty arrays
puts "#{a}"
puts "#{b}"
puts "#{c}"
puts "#{d}"
puts "#{e}"
