Groovy Truth

"Groovy Truth" is a term from the Groovy programming language that simplifies how conditions are evaluated. In many programming languages, certain values like null, false, or empty strings are considered "falsy" and evaluate as false in conditional statements. Groovy makes this easier by automatically treating most values as true or false based on their "truthiness." For example, an empty list or zero is considered false, while any non-empty list or non-zero number is true. This allows developers to write cleaner, more intuitive code without explicitly checking for every condition, aligning programming logic more closely with natural language assessments of "truth."
