5 min readIn Groovy, inheritance works in a similar way as in other object-oriented programming languages. To use inheritance in Groovy, you can create a new class that extends an existing class using the extends keyword. This means that the new class will inherit all the properties and methods of the existing class.When defining a new class that extends another class, you can access the properties and methods of the parent class using the super keyword.

7 min readA classical guitar is a type of acoustic guitar that is typically used for playing classical and flamenco music. It is distinguished by its nylon strings, as opposed to the steel strings found on other types of acoustic guitars. The neck of a classical guitar is wider and flatter than that of a steel-string guitar, allowing for easier fingerpicking and chord formation.

5 min readIn Groovy, classes are defined using the 'class' keyword followed by the class name. You can then define class properties using the 'def' keyword and assign values to them. Methods can be defined inside the class using the 'def' keyword followed by the method name and parameters. You can also add class constructors using the 'def' keyword followed by the constructor name and parameters.

5 min readTo work with JSON/XML in Groovy, you can use the built-in classes provided by Groovy. For JSON handling, you can use JsonSlurper to parse JSON data into a Groovy data structure (e.g., maps and lists) and JsonOutput to serialize a Groovy data structure into JSON.For XML handling, you can use XmlSlurper to parse XML data into a Groovy NodeList object, which can be easily traversed using Groovy's collection methods. You can also use MarkupBuilder to create XML documents programmatically.

5 min readIn Groovy, you can read and write files using the File class. To read a file, you can use the text property of the File object, which returns the contents of the file as a String. For example: def file = new File("path/to/file.txt") def contents = file.text println(contents) To write to a file, you can use the write method of the File object, passing in the content you want to write as a parameter. For example: def file = new File("path/to/file.txt") file.write("Hello, world.

5 min readIn Groovy, exceptions can be handled using try/catch blocks. When a block of code is potentially throwing an exception, it can be enclosed within a try block. Within the try block, the exception is caught using a catch block, which specifies the type of exception that is being caught. Multiple catch blocks can be used to handle different types of exceptions. Additionally, a finally block can be used to ensure that certain code is executed regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not.

3 min readThe 'each' method in Groovy is used to iterate over a collection of elements such as a list, map, or range. It takes a closure as an argument and executes that closure for each element in the collection.You can use 'each' to perform actions on each element in the collection, such as printing out the values or performing calculations. For example, you can loop through a list of numbers and print out each number like this:def numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] numbers.

4 min readTo iterate over a collection in Groovy, you can use the each() method or a for loop. The each() method allows you to iterate over each element in the collection and perform some operation on it. You can also use the collect() method to transform each element of the collection.Alternatively, you can use a for loop with the in keyword to iterate over the elements of the collection. Inside the loop, you can access each element using the loop variable.

2 min readWorking with lists in Groovy is very convenient and easy. You can create a list using square brackets [] and add items to it using the add() method or the << operator. You can access individual items in a list using their index, starting from 0. You can also iterate over a list using for loops or the each() method. Groovy provides many built-in methods for manipulating lists, such as sorting, filtering, and mapping. Overall, working with lists in Groovy is a simple and efficient process.

6 min readIn Groovy, closures are blocks of code that can be assigned to variables and passed around as arguments to functions. They are similar to anonymous functions or lambdas in other languages.To create a closure in Groovy, you can use the -> syntax followed by the code block.
-
4 min readTo create a function in Groovy, you can use the 'def' keyword followed by the function name and parameters enclosed in parentheses. Inside the curly braces, you define the logic of the function. You can then call the function by using its name followed by parentheses with any required arguments. Groovy allows for dynamic typing, so you do not need to explicitly define the return type of the function.
-
3 min readIn Groovy, variables can be defined using the def keyword or by explicitly specifying the data type. When using the def keyword, Groovy will automatically infer and assign the appropriate data type based on the value assigned to the variable. For example, "def myVar = 10" will create a variable named myVar with the value 10 and its data type will be inferred as integer.Alternatively, you can explicitly define the data type of a variable by specifying it before the variable name.
