In Groovy, why and how does assigning an ArrayList into a HashMap variable works?












0















I have the following code in Groovy that defies my logic:



HashMap<Integer,NLevelDynamicAlias> nLevelAliases = new ArrayList<>();


It was actually a typo. But the code works fine that I never realized it until I copied the code to a Java method.



How does Groovy allow that to work? Is that part of the supported coercion?

          try this code:



          HashMap<Integer,String> nLevelAliases = [1,2,3];


          and you'll get an error:





          ... due to: groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException:
          Could not find matching constructor for: java.util.HashMap(java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer)





          means that groovy tries to find a constructor for type on the left with parameters specified in ArrayList on the right
