I have a global multi-dimensional array. What is the best way to reset the array (clear out all the values from it)? The size will obviously change each time.
<pre><code id="code-10-28407212-1">var aa ={};
aa.myArray = [];
//...array gets populated somewhere
aa.clearArray = function(){

// which is better
aa.myArray[];
// or
aa.myArray.length = 0;
// or
aa.myArray = null;

}</code></pre>
