groovy if else

In Groovy, you can use the if and else statements to control the flow of your program based on a Boolean condition.

Here's an example of how you can use the if and else statements in Groovy:

def x = 10

if (x > 5) {
    // this code will be executed because x is greater than 5
    println 'x is greater than 5'
} else {
    // this code will not be executed because the condition is not met
    println 'x is not greater than 5'
}

In this example, the if statement will execute the code inside the curly braces because the condition x > 5 is true. The else statement will not be executed because the condition is already met.

You can also use the else if clause to test multiple conditions:

def x = 10

if (x > 15) {
    // this code will not be executed because the condition is not met
    println 'x is greater than 15'
} else if (x > 10) {
    // this code will not be executed because the condition is not met
    println 'x is greater than 10'
} else {
    // this code will be executed because the condition is met
    println 'x is not greater than 15 or 10'
}
