1. What is the Class Diagram?
2. How to find the required classes for the class diagram?
3. Association and type of association.
4. Aggregation and composition, Inheritance in the class diagram
5. Examples
Class Diagram is one of the important UML diagrams for software development which shows the object classes in the system and the associations between these classes. Simply, Class Diagrams visualize the object-oriented systems.
The class diagram is a static type structure diagram that describes the structure of a system by showing the system’s classes, each class's attributes and operations, and also the relationship among the objects.
How to represent the classes in the class diagram?
The class diagram is represented by a rectangle box that contains three compartments. In the top compartment, we specify the class name, in the second or middle one, we specify the attributes whereas the third or last once is for the showing the methods or operations.
How do you find the required classes in the system?
Ya it’s true, all the domain classes that we separated while drawing the communication diagrams are the all classes which need to draw in the class diagram. For the moment we will concentrate on Domain Classes - so go through all the Collaboration Diagrams for the system and list the Domain Classes.
Association
If two classes exchange information in between or need to communicate with each other, then there must be a link in between them which is modeled by association relationship.
After the association relationship detection, we need to label the association relationship coz it’s not clear from the diagram what exactly associated between the classes. So that label the association relationship just above the line like Student chooses courses.
Even after the label on the association relationship, it’s still confusing to understand the diagram like Course choose the student or student choose the courses. The staff has a manager or manager has staff.
So that we place the small solid line with an arrowhead to guide the diagram like this. That is, Read the diagram from this direction. Like students choose the course.
Another important part of the class diagram is Multiplicity which is also known as cardinality.
Where ever the association relationship, there must be the multiplicity.
Aggregation is a special type of weaker Whole - Part association relationship between two classes where the part can exist separately from the whole.
Composition is also a special type of Whole - Part relationship between two classes where the part cannot exist separately from the whole. Here the relationship between whole and part is tighter.
The composition is represented by using a Filled diamond symbol pointed to the whole class.
One of the most important representations in the class diagram is Inheritance.
If two classes have a parent-child relationship, then they have an inheritance relationship.
Inheritance relationships between two classes represent similar to the Use Case generalization. Where we draw the solid line with arrowhead pointed to the parent or superclass.
Most of the cases, Parent or superclass is defined as an Abstract class whose object does not exist and its attributes and operations can only be used by its child classes. In this case, for the abstract class in the class diagram, the class name is written in Italic font or place in between double greater and less than sign as shown in the figure.
Association Class
If there need to provide additional information about the relationship between two classes, the association class is used. An association class is a class that is part of an association relationship between two other classes. An association class is particularly useful where there is a many to many relationships between the two classes.
Dependency Relationships do not have names but it is the weakest relationship that exists between two classes if the changes to the definition of one may cause a change into the other but not the vice versa.
In programming, passing objects as an argument represents the dependency relationship which means a class using another inside a method.
All these additional relationships between classes may allow a more detailed model of the problem Domain to be produced.
However, it is usually best to keep the diagram as simple as possible.

You're a great teacher, this video has helped me to tackle my assignment..Thanks man..
I read the comments first and subscribed immediately. currently watching and it's indeed helpful
thank you for this video, I have learned more about class diagrams from this video than I learned from my lecturer
Thank you so much. Pls don't forget to share
Many real time examples. Thank you!!
Thank you sir! you are a great teacher! a blessing!
Thank you so much
@@Master2Teach is there any relation between class diagram with ERD?
can we use class diagram to design a database instead of ERD?
A very useful lesson. Thank you so much!
Excellent man, thank you very much. So easy to follow and digest!
Glad you liked it! Thank you so much. Please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe.
Thank you so much, what an excellent explanation.

WELL EXPLAINED OVERALL !!
Thank you! This has been very useful and concise.
Glad it was helpful!
I really liked your this way teaching, things were very clear to understand. But sir, I expected I will get a full class diagram example at the end ... But your this animated way is superb. Sir please make a Short video on a simple class diagram example too. 😊
Will upload soon. Thank you. Keep watching
Thank you so much dear. God bless you!!!!
Great Explanation Master2Tech💛
Thank you so much, this is useful!
Thank you so much May God Bless Your Soul ..
You are so welcome and same to you. Pls don't forget to like, share, and subscribe.
Nice explanation.
Btw are you from NEPAL.
Yes
Thank you so much... U done it very well .. it most useful for me...
It's my pleasure
That was really helpfull, thanks!
Nice explanation
What the difference between data model for database and the class diagram? When watching this video I found some similarity between those two diagram like association class in class diagram and composite entity in data model
Man, uh saved my life!!
Great!! thanks for watching. Please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe.
Thanks for your excellent content and explanation.But, I think the wall / room relationship must be composition not aggregation because no room means no wall. right???
Could it be an external wall?
amazing explanation, keep it up sir.
Simple jelas padat kelar
well explained! and thank you sir....!
very nice, thx
thank you a lot sir i got some point your lecture
Excellent explanation
Thank you 1000s very much
Excellent video!
first i would like to thank you so much i have learned a lot but may i know how come room and walls is under aggregation and not composition, if room does not exist ? will walls will be there or be demolished along with room?
Excellent!!!! Congratulations!!!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much
excellent video 👌
Thanks for the visit.
Good work
Thanks so much for the beautiful lecture Sir! Can you add the PDF file to it for better revision please?
thank you i like the explanation it's very useful
Glad it was helpful!
Draw a class inheritance diagram for the following set of classes:• Class Goat extends object and adds an instance variable tail and methodsmilk( ) and jump()
great . can you do larger explanation in form of code.. creating class diagram with relationships to code example java , object creating . How that relationships are represented ? 0:N - 1:N example parent class can create one or more objects of another class . And that another class can be represented in that class zero or n times , per view . one or more created objects / array per one object.
Excellent
Thanks for the video..Can the explanation be slow so that we can understand easily. feel it is too fast to analyse and sync.
How do you show the exception handler in a class diagram?
When a use case has more then one actor how would I draw that on the class diagram
yeah i have the same question
Thank you so much..
You're most welcome
thanks
Can you make a diagram cass for electronic library of information systems please🙏
There is confusion between when to use dependency and when to use aggregation or composition.
Hello, thank you for watching video and question. Aggregation or Composition is use when the class object is destroyed mean deleted whether its associated class object is auto destroy or not. Dependency is use if certain attribute of class is modified mean changed, it reflect to its associate class or not. So the main different between them is Destroy and Modify Cases. I hope you are more clear about it. Please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe my channel.
@@Master2Teach Please can u explain it through some example relating to class diagram. As this concept is still confusing to me. I would prefer video on this concept if you feel convenient. Thank you so much.
Thanks
Thank you for the comment. Please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to the channel.
sooperb sir
So nice of you
@@Master2Teach 😀
this my question can u help me to draw the class diagram please
Suppose that you are hired to design a control system of a nuclear power plant. Given below is
the description of the nuclear power plant, answer the questions (a)-(d) base on this.
The most important attribute of a nuclear reactor is the temperature of its core.
Reactor is equipped with computerized controls for decrementing and incrementing
the temperature. These controls are manipulated from a remote console, which is
operated by the most competent operator. Sensors are fixed throughout the power
plant. These include thermometers, and various types of alarms and thermostats
that go off when the reactor's temperature rises above the critical level: 1500
degrees.
(a). Who is the actor? (1)
(b). Name two use cases? (2)
(c). Identify all possible classes (4)
(d). Draw the class diagram for the power
I want Analysis
Class Diagram based on complaint management system
Can you share the presentation doc?
May I know what is assessestion? You mentioned quite a number of time in the video.
Association
Do you know the Aarish Lakhani?
👍
Good sharing but to fast explanation..
Thank you so much for watch my video and for feedback. I will try my best to follow your feedback in upcoming video tutorials. Please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe my channel.
@@Master2Teach this speed is good, we can grab required information fast without making it boring. Please dont slowdown your speed of explanation!! I watched the entire video!
whar if a student can cancel enrollment, view enrollment, can enroll too how we will show relation for all of them between enrollment and student?
As per your case study, a single association line is sufficient to show the relationship in between student class and enrollment class. No need to show with 3 lines. You can show these messages in third compartment of the enrollment class. If possible show the composition relationship as well.
supper sir
Need example in this video too sir. Like other videos.
Sure, will upload video tutorial on Class Diagram Examples. Keep on watching video tutorials.
Sir how can library and books be aggregation as without books library can't exist..
library is a building a building can exist without books,,,
Tricky..its like a Taxi can exist with out customers its still a taxi.. sharing inheritance from the Car class and will have a dependency on the Petrol class if it was a Transport System...:)
god bless u
Thank you
By using cc can't see that portion
Thank you so much, i didn't notice about it. I will do care on up coming video tutorials. Once more thank you for your great feedback.
basically we can say that there are 3 steps or what ?
Thank you so much for watching video and question. While drawing class diagram, there is not fix steps to follow. It depends on the use case senior - requirements.
Plz give me a class diagram for online class system...plz
Thank you for comment. I will try my best to make a video on it as soon as possible. Don't forget to subscribe.
it's here
Send the link to them OOp in c++
Thank you
Hard to understand what he's saying but helpful nevertheless
Thank you very much. It helps
