Study Notes
Relationships between Objects
- Composition: A Vehicle has a Cabin and Trunk Space, which do not exist without the enclosing Vehicle.
- A Business is composed of Departments, which do not exist without the Business.
- A Student has a Person (with personal properties), which do not exist without the Person.
UML – Unified Modeling Language
- A general-purpose developmental modeling language.
- A standard way to visualize the design of a system.
- Many types of languages exist.
Uses of UML
- As a sketch: to communicate aspects of the system during brainstorming.
- As a blueprint: a complete design to be implemented.
- As a programming language: tools available to auto-generate the structure of the code from the UML.
UML Diagrams
- Association: a general relationship between classes.
- Aggregation: a special form of association where Class A has Class B as a property.
- Composition: a restricted form of aggregation where the Part cannot exist without the Whole.
Association
- Weakest relationship between classes.
- Class A uses/references Class B.
- Examples: Employee class & Scanner class, Owner class & Pet class.
Aggregation
- A special form of association where Class A has Class B as a property.
- Examples: A duck has-a pond, College has multiple students.
Composition
- A restricted form of aggregation where the Part cannot exist without the Whole.
- Examples: A Vehicle has-a Cabin and Trunk Space, A Business is composed of Departments.
UML Class Diagram
- Top compartment: class name (centered and bold).
- Middle compartment: State (attributes, properties, instance or class variables).
- Bottom compartment: Behaviors (methods).
- Access Level Modifiers: + (public), # (protected), ~ (package protected), - (private).
UML Relationships
- Lines drawn between class boxes indicate relationships between objects of the classes.
- Cardinality: numbers at either end of an association line represent how many of each are involved.
Inheritance
- Circle and Rectangle are subclasses of Geometric Shape.
- Circle and Rectangle are subtypes of supertype GeometricShape.
- Circle inherits all attributes of Geometric Shape.
