[转]Groovy One Liners to Impress Your Friends

I find that comparing programming languages is a worthwhile exercise mainly because of the different techniques and styles that you are exposed to.

After 10 Scala / CoffeeScript / Ruby / Python / Haskell / Clojure / C# / F# one liners to impress your friends, here are the Groovy one liners.

1. Multiple Each Item in a List by 2

(1..10)*.multiply(2)

2. Sum a List of Numbers

(1..1000).sum()

3. Verify if Exists in a String

def wordList = ['groovy', 'akka', 'grails framework', 'spock', 'typesafe']
def tweet = 'This is an example tweet talking about groovy and spock.'
wordList.any { word -> tweet.contains(word) }

4. Read in a File

def fileText = new File('data.txt').text
def fileLines = new File('data.txt').readLines()

5. Happy Birthday to You!

(1..4).each { println 'Happy Birthday ' + ((it == 3) ? 'dear Arturo' : 'to You') }

6. Filter list of numbers

def (passed, failed) = [49, 58, 76, 82, 88, 90].split{ it > 60 }

7. Fetch and Parse an XML web service

def results = new XmlSlurper().parse('http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?&q=groovy')

8. Find minimum (or maximum) in a List

[14, 35, -7, 46, 98].min()
[14, 35, -7, 46, 98].max()

9. Parallel Processing

import groovyx.gpars.*
GParsPool.withPool { def result = dataList.collectParallel { processItem(it) } }

Using Gpars that offers intuitive and safe ways to handle Groovy tasks concurrently.

10. Sieve of Eratosthenes

def t = 2..100
(2..Math.sqrt(t.last())).each { n -> t -= ((2*n)..(t.last())).step(n) }
println t

I found this solution in the comments of this post, Groovy Prime Numbers.

11. Bonus: FizzBuzz

for (i in 1..100) { println "${i%3?'':'Fizz'}${i%5?'':'Buzz'}" ?: i }
