Study Notes
UML Diagrams and Class Relationships
- UML (Unified Modeling Language) is used to visualize the design of a system.
- Abstract classes in UML are represented as a class with italics or a special notation.
- The given code describes an abstract class
People
, which has properties forage
andname
and an abstract methodprintInfo()
.
Class Hierarchy
-
People
is the superclass from which other classes derive. - Two classes inherit from
People
:-
Student
class has an additional propertygrade
. -
Teacher
class includes an additional propertyexperience
.

Key UML Representation
- The relationship depicted is a generalization relation, illustrated as an inheritance arrow pointing from
Student
andTeacher
toPeople
. - Subclasses must implement the abstract method
printInfo()
, ensuring they provide specific information.
Importance of UML in Software Development
- Facilitates communication among developers by providing a clear structure.
- Captures system requirements and designs, aiding in the planning and documentation process.
