How does one return from a groovy closure and stop its execution?

Question

I would like to return from a closure, like one would if using a break statement in a loop.

For example:

largeListOfElements.each{ element->
             


        

Answer 1

Today I faced a similar problem while working with each closure. I wanted to break the flow of execution based on my condition but couldn't do it.

The easiest way to do in groovy is to use any() on a list instead of each if you wish to return a boolean based on some condition.
