Groovy Programming Examples

Generalized Classes

groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      // Creating a generic List collection 
      ListType<String> lststr = new ListType<>();
      lststr.set("First String");
      println(lststr.get()); 
		
      ListType<Integer> lstint = new ListType<>();
      lstint.set(1);
      println(lstint.get());
   }
} 

public class ListType<T> {
   private T localt;
	
   public T get() {
      return this.localt;
   }
	
   public void set(T plocal) {
      this.localt = plocal;
   } 
}

Generic for Collections

groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      // Creating a generic List collection
      List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
      list.add("First String");
      list.add("Second String");
      list.add("Third String");
		
      for(String str : list) {
         println(str);
      }
   } 
}

Interfaces

groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      Student st = new Student();
      st.StudentID = 1;
      st.Marks1 = 10;
      println(st.DisplayMarks());
   } 
} 

interface Marks { 
   void DisplayMarks(); 
} 

class Student implements Marks {
   int StudentID
   int Marks1;
	
   void DisplayMarks() {
      println(Marks1);
   }
}

Abstract Classes

groovy

class Example { 
   static void main(String[] args) { 
      Student st = new Student(); 
      st.StudentID = 1;
		
      st.Marks1 = 10; 
      st.name="Joe"; 
		
      println(st.name); 
      println(st.DisplayMarks()); 
   } 
} 

abstract class Person { 
   public String name; 
   public Person() { } 
   abstract void DisplayMarks();
}
 
class Student extends Person { 
   int StudentID 
   int Marks1; 
	
   public Student() { 
      super(); 
   } 
	
   void DisplayMarks() { 
      println(Marks1); 
   }  
}

Inner Classes

groovy

class Example { 
   static void main(String[] args) { 
      Outer outobj = new Outer(); 
      outobj.name = "Joe"; 
      outobj.callInnerMethod() 
   } 
} 

class Outer { 
   String name;
	
   def callInnerMethod() { 
      new Inner().methodA() 
   } 
	
   class Inner {
      def methodA() { 
         println(name); 
      } 
   } 
	
}

Extends

groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      Student st = new Student();
      st.StudentID = 1;
		
      st.Marks1 = 10;
      st.name = "Joe";
		
      println(st.name);
   }
} 

class Person {
   public String name;
   public Person() {}  
} 

class Student extends Person {
   int StudentID
   int Marks1;
	
   public Student() {
      super();
   } 
}

Creating Multiple Objects

groovy

class Student {
   int StudentID;
   String StudentName;
	
   int Marks1;
   int Marks2;
   int Marks3;
	
   int Total() { 
      return Marks1+Marks2+Marks3;
   } 
	
   static void main(String[] args) {
      Student st = new Student();
      st.StudentID = 1;
      st.StudentName = "Joe";
		
      st.Marks1 = 10;
      st.Marks2 = 20;
      st.Marks3 = 30;
		
      println(st.Total()); 
   
      Student st1 = new Student();
      st.StudentID = 1;
      st.StudentName = "Joe";
		
      st.Marks1 = 10;
      st.Marks2 = 20;
      st.Marks3 = 40;
		
      println(st.Total());  
        
      Student st3 = new Student();
      st.StudentID = 1;
      st.StudentName = "Joe";
		
      st.Marks1 = 10; 
      st.Marks2 = 20;
      st.Marks3 = 50;
		
      println(st.Total());
   } 
}

getter and setter Methods

groovy

class Student {
   private int StudentID;
   private String StudentName;
	
   void setStudentID(int pID) {
      StudentID = pID;
   }
	
   void setStudentName(String pName) {
      StudentName = pName;
   }
	
   int getStudentID() {
      return this.StudentID;
   }
	
   String getStudentName() {
      return this.StudentName;
   }
	
   static void main(String[] args) {
      Student st = new Student();
      st.setStudentID(1);
      st.setStudentName("Joe");
		
      println(st.getStudentID());
      println(st.getStudentName());
   } 
}

Finally Block

groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         def arr = new int[3];
         arr[5] = 5;
      }catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ex) {
         println(ex.toString());
         println(ex.getMessage());
         println(ex.getStackTrace());  
      } catch(Exception ex) {
         println("Catching the exception");
      }finally {
         println("The final block");
      }
		
      println("Let's move on after the exception");
   } 
}

Multiple Catch Blocks

groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         def arr = new int[3];
         arr[5] = 5;
      }catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ex) {
         println("Catching the Array out of Bounds exception");
      }catch(Exception ex) {
         println("Catching the exception");
      }
		
      println("Let's move on after the exception");
   } 
}
