Running Groovy script from the command line

Question

When I did which groovy  I got the below output    usr local bin groovy   So I went ahead and created a helloworld groovy with the below content     usr local bin groovy println  hello world    After that I did chmod  x helloworld groovy and attempted to run the file with   hellworld groovy and sadly  I got this error   helloworld groovy  line 2  print  command not found  I could get rid of the error by changing to     usr bin env groovy println  hello world    Why would the first method cause the error
