Study Notes

UML Class Diagram

  • Represents the structure of an Object-Oriented System, showcasing Classes and their Relationships.

Class

  • Serves as a template for creating objects of a specific type.
  • Groups related features or data together.

Association

  • Indicates a relationship between two or more classes.

Aggregation

  • Represents a 'has a' relationship, stronger than Association.
  • Example: A Person has an Address, which can exist independently.

Composition

  • Represents an ownership relationship, where X 'owns a' Y.
  • Implies that Y cannot exist independently as it is part of X.

Relationship Representation in Class Diagrams

  • Association: Shown with a solid line connecting classes.
  • Aggregation: Depicted with a solid line and an unfilled diamond at one end, next to the aggregating class.
  • Composition: Illustrated with a solid line and a filled diamond at one end, indicating ownership.
  • Inheritance: Shown with a solid line and an unfilled triangle at one end, adjacent to the superclass.
  • Realization of an Interface: Represented with a dashed line connecting the class to the interface.

Multiplicity

  • Indicated as "2..*" to represent a cardinality of 2 to many.

Attributes Representation

  • Private attribute example: - name: String translates to private String name;.
  • Public attribute example: + address: Address translates to + address: Address;.

Method Representation

  • Public method example: + complexCalculation(alpha: double, gamma: integer): double translates to public double complexCalculation(double alpha, int gamma) { /* Implementation */ }.

Conversion to Java Code

  • Attributes and methods convert into Java code format based on visibility (private/public) and data types.
  • Example for class conversion:
    • Class Animal with attribute - name: String and method + makeSound():
      • public class Animal { private String name; public void makeSound(); }

Abstract Classes and Methods

  • Abstract classes or methods are indicated by italicized names or labels stating "abstract".
  • Example: Abstract class Animal representation translates into Java.

Flyable Interface

  • Represented with just the interface name and method declaration, e.g., + fly().
