Problem scenario
You are trying to write a simple Groovy program.  You have an array of individual strings.  How do you assign one of them to be the value that a variable is?

Solution
To assign an element of an array, should have quotes around the variable and the $ symbol and the syntax ” as String” should follow the closing quote mark.

Problem scenario
You want to use Groovy to create a class and an object that is composed of many individual member data types.  How do you do this and access an individual data type of the object?

Solution
This Groovy program creates two objects from the same class using different syntax.  One method uses syntax “[]” and another method uses the “new” keyword.

    String mem2 = “”
    String mem3 = “”
    String mem4 = “”

    String mem7 = “”
    String mem8 = “”
    String mem9 = “”
}

programsv1 = new Program( “1”, …
