tinne created GROOVY-7935: ----------------------------- Summary: Right side of assignment - remove parens or not? Key: GROOVY-7935 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7935 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Bug Components: Documentation Environment: http://groovy-lang.org/style-guide.html, release 2.4.7 Reporter: tinne Priority: Minor
The Groovy [style guide](http://groovy-lang.org/style-guide.html) says, "... Groovy doesn’t allow you to remove parentheses. [...] for nested method calls or on the right-hand side of an assignment, you can’t omit them there." Then, a code fragment is given, where just this works. {noformat} def foo(n) { n } println foo 1 // won't work def m = foo 1 {noformat} Further more, I could not find any examples, where this would not work, neither with comma separated parameter lists nor with infix computations nor closures. So I guess it is just a documentation bug and right-hand side parens removal support has been added. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
