什么是闭包
一个groovy闭包就像一个代码块或者方法指针，他是定义然后执行的一段代码，但是他有一些特性：隐含变量，支持自由变量，支持currying 。
我们先来看看一些例子：
1 |
def clos = { println "hello!" } |
3 |
println "Executing the Closure:" |
在上面的例子中”hello!”是因为调用clos（）函数才打印出来的，而不是在定义的时候打印出来的。
参数
闭包的参数在->之前列出，比如：
1 |
def printSum = { a, b -> print a+b } |
如果闭包的参数是少于2个的话，那么 ->是可以省略的。
Parameter notes
A Closure without -> , i.e. {} , is a Closure with one argument that is implicitly named as ‘it’. (see below for details) In some cases, you need to construct a Closure with zero arguments, e.g. using GString for templating, defining EMC Property etc. You have to explicity define your Closure as { -> } instead of just { }
You can also use varargs as parameters, refer to the Formal Guide for details. A JavaScript-style dynamic args could be simulated, refer to the Informal Guide.
自由变量
闭包能引用在参数列表中没有列出的变量，这些变量成为自由变量，他们的作用范围在他们定义的范围内：
2 |
def incByConst = { num -> num + myConst } |
另外一个例子：
2 |
def localVariable = new java.util.Date() |
3 |
return { println localVariable } |
6 |
def clos = localMethod() |
8 |
println "Executing the Closure:" |
隐式变量
it
如果你有一个闭包但是只有一个参数，那么你可以省略这个参数，比如：
1 |
def clos = { print it } |
this, owner, and delegate
this : 和java中是一样的, this refers to the instance of the enclosing class where a Closure is defined
owner : the enclosing object (this or a surrounding Closure)
delegate : by default the same as owner, but changeable for example in a builder or ExpandoMetaClass
3 |
println this.class.name |
4 |
println delegate.class.name |
6 |
println owner.class.name |
12 |
def clos = new Class1().closure |
闭包作为方法参数
当一个方法使用闭包作为最后一个参数的话，那么就可以内嵌一个闭包，比如：
1 |
def list = ['a','b','c','d'] |
4 |
list.collect( newList ) { |
在上面的collect方法中，他接受一个一个List和闭包，上面的代码等价于下面的代码：
1 |
def list = ['a','b','c','d'] |
4 |
def clos = { it.toUpperCase() } |
5 |
list.collect( newList, clos ) |
7 |
assert newList == ["A", "B", "C", "D"] |

Groovy继承了 java.lang.Object并且许多的 Collection 和Map 的许多方法都接受闭包作为参数的 See GDK Extensions to Object for practical uses of Groovy's Closures.
