This document provides an overview of class diagrams in UML. It describes the key components of a class including the name, attributes, and operations. It explains how classes can be connected through relationships like generalizations, associations, and dependencies. The document uses examples like Person, Student, and CourseSchedule classes to illustrate attributes, operations, and relationships between classes.

- 2. Class Diagram Overview Class diagram is one type of UML structure diagram which shows structure of the designed system at the level of classes and interfaces, shows their features, constraints and their relationships - associations, generalizations, dependencies, etc. Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani 2
- 3. ClassName attributes A class is a description of a set of objects that share the same attributes, operations, relationships, and semantics. Graphically, a class is rendered as a rectangle, usually including its name, attributes, and operations in separate, operations attributes, and operations in separate, designated compartments. Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 4. ClassName attributes The name of the class is the only required tag in the graphical representation of a class. It always appears in the top-most compartment. operations Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 5. Person name : String address : Address birthdate : Date An attribute is a named property of a class that describes the object being modeled. In the class diagram, attributes appear in thebirthdate : Date ssn : Id In the class diagram, attributes appear in the second compartment just below the name- compartment. Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 6. Person name : String address : Address Attributes are usually listed in the form: attributeName : Type A derived attribute is one that can be computed from other attributes, but doesn’t actually exist. address : Address birthdate : Date / age : Date ssn : Id For example, a Person’s age can be computed from his birth date. A derived attribute is designated by a preceding ‘/’ as in: / age : Date Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 7. Person + name : String # address : Address Attributes can be: + public # protected - private # address : Address # birthdate : Date / age : Date - ssn : Id - private / derived Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 8. Person name : String address : Address birthdate : Datebirthdate : Date ssn : Id Eat() Sleep() Work() Play() Operations describe the class behavior and appear in the third compartment. Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 9. A class may also include its responsibilities in a class diagram. A responsibility is a contract or obligation of a class to perform a particular service.

- 10. In UML, object interconnections (logical or physical), are modeled as relationships. There are five kinds of relationships in UML: • dependencies • generalizations • associations •Inheritence •realization Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 11. A dependency indicates a semantic relationship between two or more elements. The dependency from CourseSchedule to Course exists because Course is used in both the add and remove operations of CourseSchedule. CourseSchedule add(c : Course) remove(c : Course) Course Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 12. Person A generalization connects a subclass to its super class. It denotes an inheritance of attributes and behavior from the super class to thebehavior from the super class to the subclass and indicates a specialization in the subclass of the more general super class. Student Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 13. Student UML permits a class to inherit from multiple superclasses, although some programming languages (e.g., Java) do not permit multiple inheritance. Employee TeachingAssistant Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
- 14. If two classes in a model need to communicate with each other, there must be link between them. An association denotes that link. InstructorStudent Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET PIlani
