Attributes and Methods

    Attributes

all attributesshould be declared as private.

    Methods

Composition

Aggregation

An aggregation is representedby a line with a diamond at the head.

Association

Note thatbecause there is no shape on either end of the line, there is no indication aboutwhich way the service flows. The figure shows only that there is an associationbetween the two classes.

Cardinality

 

Conclusion

You do not needUML to design OO systems, but UML is a tool that can be used to assist in thedevelopment of OO systems.
