Is there a difference between these two function definitions?

[geossscripting]

Is there a difference between a function defined like this :

def myfunc(def param) {
// whatever
}

and

def myfunc(param) {
// whatever
}
? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email

Both create a method named myfunc with an Object parameter named param
on the Script class.

You can see this using the groovyConsole "Inspect Ast" feature in the
nightly build of 1.7.

So the methods are not equivalent?

I think they are equivalent. The AST for the two don't seem to differ at all.

hehe, I was wondering if you would ask that... If you give the parameter
a def or not doesn't matter, it is the same

Thanks for making things clear Jochen. Sorry for the beginner-level questions.
