CArray:Empty

CArray:Empty

The Empty method deletes all members of the CArray but does not delete the CArray object.

Syntax

CArray:Empty()

Remarks

This deletes all array members without deleting the CArray object itself. If you delete the CArray, the object is set to nil and cannot be used again without creating a new instance using new. By calling Empty, the existing CArray can be used to Set new members, and so forth.

Example

The following script sets 3 members in a new CArray M, then deletes all members of M:

A = new_array()	-- create a CArray
A:Set( 127, -63.25 )	-- set member
A:Set( 100, 12.34 )	-- set member
A:Set( 4, -42 )	-- set member
Printf("Members = %d", A:Count() )	-- result: Members = 3
A:Empty()	-- empty the array
Printf("Members = %d", A:Count() )	-- result: Members = 0
A:delete()	-- if finished with A, clean up memory
