Operator Overloading
Working with Collections
    Lists
        Construct list from another list
        How to get the element at given position?
        lists: Set the element at given position
        List can take object of any type
        Lists can take negative indexes
        List in boolean context
        Iterate over the list
        collect() : Transform the elements of list to new list
        List: find(): Find first element that matches given criteria
        List: findAll: Find all the elements that matches to given criteria
        List: findIndexOf: Find index of first element that matches to given criteria
        List: indexOf: Return the index of an element in the list
        List: lastIndexOf: Return the index of an element from the end of list
        List: every(): Return true if all the elements in the list matches to given criteria
        List: any: Check whether any one element matches to given criteria
        List: sum(): Return sum of all the elements in the list
        List: join: Join the string using given separator
        List: inject: Perform reduce operation
        List: max: Find maximum element in the list
        List: append elements to list
        Spread the list elements
        List: flatten: Flatten list elements
        List: remove element from the list
        Remove all the elements from list
        Check for existence of an element in the list
        list: Count number of occurrences of given value
        Count number of values that matches to given predicate
        Get intersection of two lists
        List: Check whether lists are disjoint or not
        Sort elements of a list
        Duplicate elements of a list
    Working with Maps
        Insert elements into a map
        Get elements of a map
        Create empty map
        Get size of map
        Keys in the map are string by default
        Maps in Groovy are heterogeneous
        Clone map
        Map: Access the keys using . notation
        Iterating over maps
        Adding elements to the map
        Remove all the elements from the map
        Map: find: Find the first element that matches to given closure
        Map: findAll: Find all the elements that matches to given criteria
        Map: collect(): Collect the information
        map: every: Check whether all the elements satisfy given criteria or not
        any: check whether any entry matches to the predicate
        Map: Group the elements
Working with Closures
    closure.getParameterTypes().size(): Check number of arguments this closure takes
    Closure: Currying
Rules while evaluating the expressions
Assignment vs if statement
Pass custom objects to switch statement
Overloading of isCase method
Classes
    Accessing fields of a class
    Constructor invocation
    Methods
        Method named parameters
        Default arguments to a method
        Method vs checked exceptions
Fields
Properties
List all the properties of a class
Read a file line by line
Get the package name of a class
parse xml file
Print all the file names in a directory recursively
print first 10 fibonacci numbers
Print elements of list without using a counter and list size
Convert string to int
