Question about UML diagrams
Okay, for college one of the teachers wants us to hand in a UML diagram with our projects, which is fine, I've been doing them for a while, I'm used to them.
Then someone says that I have been doing them wrong. Apparently, some people add in the operations section of the class the constructors and destructors as well like this example: -------------------------- | Cat | -------------------------- | -Name : String | -------------------------- | +Cat(String) | <-----This being the constructor | +getName : String | -------------------------- Is this correct? Because I have been doing it without the constructors

Re: Question about UML diagrams
When I took my software specification course we were required to include all constructors except for the default constructor. This makes sense since you want to let your programmers know what kind of constructors they will need to create.
For example, say the Cat class had other optional members like age, weight, color, and there were a bunch of Constructors: Cat(string, int, int, string), Cat( string, int, int ), etc... you should include all of these in your UML to indicate they need to be written by the programmers. Hopefully that makes sense. |
