### Method Detail

#### eval

    public static java.lang.Object eval(javax.script.ScriptEngine self,

                        Binding binding)

Parameters:
  `self` - A ScriptEngine
  `script` - The script language source to be executed
  `binding` - A Groovy binding
Returns:
  The value returned from the execution of the script (if supported by the Script engine)
