通过Groovy闭包中的引用传递参数来动态设置变量

Question

Is there a way I can set a variable by calling a closure in groovy? VAR1 returns 2 but I would expect it to return the value in cell I2.

def f_getdata = {ColDesc, ColNum -> 
ColDesc = Float.parseFloat(sheet.getRow(1).getCell(ColNum).getRawValue())}

def VAR1 = 2

f_getdata(VAR1, 8)

Answer 1

The most of simple-like types (String, Integer, Long, ...) are non-changeable.

So you can't do what you've described.

But if VAL1 will be in a container - for example Map - then you can change values in the Map:

def ctx = [
    VAL1:"world"
]
def f_getdata = {ColDesc, ColNum -> 
    ctx[ColDesc] = "hello "+ ctx[ColDesc]
}
f_getdata("VAL1", 8)

println ctx.VAL1

result:

hello world
