String staticStr = new String("this is a statically typed String"); staticStr = 8; println """The type of staticStr is: ${staticStr.class.getName()} """ println """It's value is: $staticStr""" The output form running the above program is: String staticStr = new String("this is a statically typed String"); staticStr = 8; println """The type of staticStr is: ${staticStr.class.getName()} """ println """It's value is: $staticStr""" As you can see, staticStr remains a string even a...
