    Study Notes

    Modeling Concepts

    • Classes: basic concepts in object orientation, used as templates for creating objects
    • Objects: instances of classes, have their own attributes and methods
    • Attributes: static elements of classes, used to save values (e.g., last name, first name, birthdate, sex)
    • Methods: dynamic elements of classes, describe behavior of classes (e.g., calculations, modifications)

    Unified Modeling Language (UML)

    • A universal modeling language for IT systems
    • Includes 13 diagram types for modeling different aspects of a system
    • Structure diagrams (e.g., class diagrams) model structure, elements, composition, and interfaces
    • Behavior diagrams model what happens in a system

    Class Diagram

    • Used for modeling classes, including attributes, methods, and associations
    • A class consists of three adjacent rectangles: name, attributes, and methods

    Attributes

    • Properties of classes, used for saving values
    • Can be characterized by name, data type, constant, and default value

    Methods

    • Functions of classes, contain algorithms and processing specifications
    • Describe behavior of classes, e.g., calculations, modifications, and deletions

    Associations between Classes

    • "Has/knows" relationships: one class "has" or "knows" another class
    • "Consists of" relationships: a class is part of another class
    • "Is a" relationships: a class A is a class B, with different attributes and methods

    Object-Oriented Analysis (OOA) and Object-Oriented Design (OOD)

    • OOA: identify classes, attributes, and methods; create analysis model
    • OOD: create design based on analysis model, define classes, attributes, and methods

    Identifying Classes

    • Identify nouns in a problem statement as candidates for classes
    • Check if nouns can be described using other nouns or have associations with other nouns
    • Model nouns as classes if they meet these conditions

    UML Class Diagram Notation

    • Classes are shown as rectangles with the class name
    • Attributes are listed in a separate rectangle below the class name
    • Methods are listed in a separate rectangle below the attributes

    UML Object Diagram Notation

    • Objects are shown as rectangles with the object name and values for attributes
    • Objects are instances of classes, with the same attributes and methods
