Inner Methods are not Supported

Here is an example: 

def typeCheck(String type,String value) {
    def answer;
    if (type.contains(value)) {
        answer = value;
    }else{
        answer = "notfound";
    }
    return answer;
}

I want to call this procedure from my project file:

def rh = typeCheck(employeeRecord.HTReason.toString(),'Rehire');

Nevermind, the issue was a missing }.
