Using the clear() Method: Emptying a Dictionary Completely
Dictionaries also offer a handy clear() method that removes all items, leaving you with an empty dictionary. Here's how it works.
# Creating a dictionary for book details book = { "title": "Pride and Prejudice", "author": "Jane Austen", "year": 1813, "genre": "Romance" } # Printing the dictionary before clearing print("Before clearing:", book) # Clearing all items from the dictionary book.clear() # Printing the dictionary after clearing print("After clearing:", book)

We’ve done a great job working with the authors_books dictionary, but it’s time to say goodbye to it.
- Clear the
