public member function
<unordered_set>

// clearing unordered_set
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <unordered_set>

int main ()
{
  std::unordered_set<std::string> myset =
    { "chair", "table", "lamp", "sofa" };

  std::cout << "myset contains:";
  for (const std::string& x: myset) std::cout << " " << x;
  std::cout << std::endl;

  myset.clear();
  myset.insert("bed");
  myset.insert("wardrobe");
  myset.insert("nightstand");

  std::cout << "myset contains:";
  for (const std::string& x: myset) std::cout << " " << x;
  std::cout << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

Possible output:
myset contains: sofa lamp table chair
myset contains: nightstand wardrobe bed


Complexity

Linear on size (destructors).
