  1. COP 3330 Notes 4/13

  2. Today’s Topics • UML Class Diagrams

  3. UML Class Diagrams • UML stands for Unified Modeling Language • There are many types of diagrams specified by UML, but we'll only focus on class diagrams • UML class diagrams depict structural relationships among classes

  4. UML Class Diagrams • A class is represented as a rectangle subdivided into three areas • Example: Simplified Student class

  5. UML Class Diagrams • A field is specified with its access modifier first, then its name, then a :, then the type • e.g. on the previous slide, the Java code equivalent of the field would be private double gpa;

  6. UML Class Diagrams • A method is specified with access modifier first, then its name, then its formal parameters in parentheses, then a :, then its return type • e.g. the Java code equivalent of the method header would be public void setGPA(double newgpa)

  7. UML Class Diagrams • Access modifiers: The visibility of fields and methods are represented by the first character before their names • Private: - • Public: + • Protected: #

  8. UML Class Diagrams • Other modifiers: • If a method or field is underlined that indicates that it is static • If a method, field, or class name is italicized, that indicates that it is abstract

  9. UML Class Diagrams • Relationships among classes • Generalization (extends in Java) • Realization (implements in Java) • Arrow with dashed line allows details of the interface to be specified • Lollipop does not

  10. UML Class Diagrams • Relationships among classes • Aggregation: One type of has-a relationship • Indicates weak life-cycle dependence • e.g. an AcademicDepartment can be destroyed, yet its Students live on • Composition: Another type of has-a relationship • Indicates strong life-cycle dependence • e.g. When a car is destroyed, so is its engine

  11. UML Class Diagrams • Relationships among classes • Pretty much any other relationship is association

  12. UML Class Diagrams • Example: Extremely simplified class diagram of Assignment 3 (fields and methods omitted for clarity)
