        // The following code shows how methods and properties will be resolved to the delegate instead of the closure itself.

// creating a closure
def closure = {
    add "groovy"
    add "java"
}

// declaring a list
def list = []

// making the call methods inside closure be resolved to the list
closure.delegate = list
closure.resolveStrategy = Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST

// executing the closure
closure();

// now, the list was changed
list.each { println it }

// output 
// groovy
// java
