# Class LoopInvariantASTTransformation

java.lang.Object
org.apache.groovy.contracts.ast.LoopInvariantASTTransformation

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `ASTTransformation`

public class LoopInvariantASTTransformation extends Object implements ASTTransformation
Handles `Invariant` annotations placed on loop statements (`for`, `while`, `do-while`). The invariant closure is evaluated as an assertion at the start of each loop iteration.

When `@Invariant` is placed on a class (its original usage), this transform returns immediately, letting the existing global contract pipeline handle it.

Example:

     int sum = 0
     @Invariant({ 0 <= i && i <= 4 })
     for (int i in 0..4) {
         sum += i
     }

  6.0.0
