org.codehaus.groovy.ast.stmt.BlockStatement

```
public class BlockStatement
extends Statement
```
Represents a compound statement consisting of an ordered sequence of Statements within a specific VariableScope.

- Constructor Detail
  - public BlockStatement()
    
    Constructs an empty BlockStatement with a new default scope.
  - public BlockStatement(Statement[] statements, VariableScope scope)
    
    Constructs a BlockStatement with an array of statements and a variable scope. The provided array is copied internally; subsequent modifications to the array will not affect this BlockStatement.
    Parameters:
    statements - an array of Statements to include in this block; must not be null or a NullPointerException will be raised
    scope - the VariableScope for this block, typically containing local variable declarations and type information
  - public BlockStatement(List<Statement> statements, VariableScope scope)
    
    Constructs a BlockStatement with a list of statements and a variable scope. A reference to the provided list is maintained; modifications to the list after construction will be reflected in this BlockStatement.
    Parameters:
    statements - a List of Statements to include in this block; pass an empty list, not null, to avoid NullPointerException later
    scope - the VariableScope for this block, containing variable binding and type metadata
- Method Detail
  - public void addStatement(Statement statement)
    
    Appends a Statement to this block.
    Parameters:
    statement - the Statement to add; must not be null
  - public void addStatements(List<Statement> listOfStatements)
    
    Appends all Statements from the provided list to this block.
    Parameters:
    listOfStatements - a List of Statements to append; must not be null
  - public List<Statement> getStatements()
    
    Returns the list of Statements in this block.
    Returns:
    an unmodifiable view or direct reference to the statements list
  - public String getText()
  - public VariableScope getVariableScope()
    
    Returns the VariableScope associated with this block, which contains variable declarations, type information, and scope metadata.
    Returns:
    the VariableScope for this block
  - public boolean isEmpty()
    
    Checks whether this block contains no statements.
    Returns:
    true if the statement list is empty, false otherwise
  - public void setVariableScope(VariableScope scope)
    
    Sets the VariableScope for this block.
    Parameters:
    scope - the VariableScope to associate with this block
  - public String toString()
  - public void visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)
