 With this approach all previous entries of the map are completely discarded from the contract even if the map was declared as its persistent state variable. As a result, assigning maps to `emptyMap(){:tact}` **does not** inflict any hidden or sudden [storage fees](https://docs.ton.org/develop/smart-contracts/fees#storage-fee).

+The `.isEmpty(){:tact}` [method](/book/functions#extension-function) on maps returns `true{:tact}` if the map is empty and `false{:tact}` otherwise:
+
+```tact
+let fizz: map<Int, Int> = emptyMap();
+
+if (fizz.isEmpty()) {
+    dump("Empty maps are empty, duh!");

+// Note, that comparing the map to `null` behaves the same as `.isEmpty()` method,

+### Convert to a `Cell`, `.asCell()` [#ascell]
 
 Use `.asCell(){:tact}` [method](/book/functions#extension-function) on maps to convert all their values to a [`Cell{:tact}`][p] type. Be mindful, that [`Cell{:tact}`][p] type is able to store up to 1023 bits, so converting larger maps to the Cell will result in error.
