Groovy essentials for Gradle

 

Groovy Essentials:

•         Groovy is a scripting language. So, you can write code outside of a class and execute it.
•         Gradle configuration files are written in groovy
•         Groovy runs on JVM
•         It is dynamically typed hence we can use the ‘def’ keyword while initializing a variable

        Ex., def myVar = ‘Executing a script’

•         Semi-colons at the end of a line are not required
•        Brackets are optional while passing parameters to a function

        Ex., def multiply (int x, int y){

               println x*y

        }

        multiply 3,2  //This calls the multiply method. Notice no braces  required
