Methods in groovy/sscript	vladl [ Thu Apr 12, 2018 11:33 am ]
If I look into groovy documentation a method in groovy looks like so: Code: int fib(int n) { n < 2 ? 1 : fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) } http://groovy-lang.org/structure.html#_methods But with sscript this does not seem to work. The syntax check complains something about method definition not expected here. In all the scripts I have looked methods are defined and called like so: Code: def xyz = { argument -> // do something } xyz("test") Is this some kind of special sscript stuff or standard groovy stuff which I have not yet stumbled over?

If I look into groovy documentation a method in groovy looks like so:

Code:

int fib(int n) {
    n < 2 ? 1 : fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
}

But with sscript this does not seem to work. The syntax check complains something about method definition not expected here.

Code:

def xyz = { argument ->
  // do something
}

xyz("test")

Is this some kind of special sscript stuff or standard groovy stuff which I have not yet stumbled over?

Hi vladl, the thing you see in the scripts and your second example is a closure. This is a regular groovy-structure, see http://groovy-lang.org/closures.html. Groovy is kind of picky when it comes to places and contexts where methods can be defined and where they can't. For example it's not possible to define them inside of other methods or closures. Closures on the other hand may basically be defined everywhere. For the other differences between these structures like variable-scope etc. please see the documentation. I don't know if the scripts are run within a hierachy like a closure of the main program in sexscripts. This is something doti would have to answer. But if this is the case, then methods will not work, but closures will still do. So I suggest you try to use these. Regards cgut2001

Many thanks cgut2001

Yes, all the script code is itself inside a method, so you can only create closures
