is it possible to break out of closure in groovy

Question

is there a way to \'break\' out of a groovy closure.

maybe something like this:

[1, 2, 3].each { 
  println(it)
  if (it == 2)
    break 
}
<         


        

Answer 1

Try to use any instead of each

def list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, -1, -2]
list.any { element ->
    if (element > 3)
    return true // break
    println element
}

The result : 1, 2, 3
