Array is not getting empty

Question

I have a array search_by_type which is declared at the top. Now in every click I am setting the rest_type_id value to array which is working fine.

Now other page action is calling get_all_restro() function which will empty the array search_by_type. When again I click restro_type_filter class it print array which has a value that means it is not getting empty.

var search_by_type = new Array();

$(document).on("click",".restro_type_filter",function(){

    console.log(search_by_type);

    var rest_type_id = $(this).attr('rest_type_id');
    search_by_type.push(rest_type_id); 


});

function get_all_restro(type){

    search_by_type.length = 0;

}

EDIT :

Ok guys there is an error at function get_all_restro() - Cannot set property 'length' of undefined how should I solve this? Is this error is creating a problem ?

What is happening here, what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

The problem is probably that the page action calling get_all_restro is itself not getting called. Do you know if the page action is ever called? — a-d

To people pretending you can't reset an array by setting the length to 0, here's an extract from the MDN : "You can set the length property to truncate an array at any time." — Denys Séguret

Try re-initializing it this:

search_by_type = new Array();

or

search_by_type = [];

Complete code:

function get_all_restro(type){

    search_by_type = new Array();

}
