Groovy: Lists can take negative indexes

Groovy support negative indexes.

list[-1] represents last element in the list, list[-2] represents last but one etc.,

HelloWorld.groovy

primes = [2, 3, 5, 7]

println "primes[-1] : ${primes[-1]}"
println "primes[-2] : ${primes[-2]}"
println "primes[-3] : ${primes[-3]}"
println "primes[-4] : ${primes[-4]}"

Output

primes[-1] : 7

primes[-2] : 5

primes[-3] : 3

primes[-4] : 2

'getAt()' method support -ve indexes, but get() do not support -ve indexes.
