Following are some fundamental concepts of the object-oriented world:  \n➔ Class: A c lass is a blueprint from which individual objects can be created.  \n➔ Objects: An object represent a particular instance of a class.  \n➔ Abstraction: Abstraction means hiding implementation details from users.  \n➔ Encapsulation: Encapsulation is the mechanism that binds together data and code to save from outsiders.  \n➔ Inheritance: It means taking something that already exists i.e it provides reusability.  \n➔ Polymorphism: It defines the mechanism to exists in different forms.  \nOO Analysis and Design  \n● Step1 is to identify and analyze objects and describing them in a proper way. Objects need to be identified with responsibility i.e the kind of work they will perform.  \n● Step 2 is to design. If objects are identified correctly then the design part is easy. In this stage, the objects are collaborated according to their intended association. After the association is complete the design is also complete.  \n● Step 3 is implementation in which design is implemented using object-oriented languages like Java, C++ etc.  \nClassification of UML diagrams:-  \n● UML is linked with object-oriented design and analysis.  \n● UML use Object Oriented elements and forms associations between them to form diagrams.  \nUML Diagrams can be broadly classified as:  \n1. Structural Diagrams – It captures static aspects or structure of a system. Structure diagrams are not utilized for real-time concepts, because they do not show the details of dynamic behavior. But they may show relationships to the behaviors of the elements in the structure diagrams.  \n2. Behavior Diagrams – It capture dynamic aspects or behavior of the system. It describes a set of actions that any system should or can perform.  \nClass Diagram  \n● Class diagram with the building block of all the object-oriented software applications and it is the most widely used UML diagram  \n● It is used to show the static structure of a system by showing classes, methods, and attributes.  \n● It also shows the relationship between different classes, methods, and objects.  \n● Used for visualizing, describing, and documenting different aspects of a system.  \n● Along with showing attributes and methods it also shows the kind of operation they will perform and the constraints imposed on these methods and attributes.  \n● This type of UML diagram is widely used because it can provide direct mapping with object-oriented languages  \nHow to draw the Class Diagram?  \nThe following points should be remembered while drawing a class diagram:  \n● The name of the Class diagram should be clear and meaningful to describe the system by its own.  \n● All the relationships between the elements should be identified in advance  \n● For Class diagram attributes and methods are called as responsibility so the res","cbCaingpeQ1JQgOI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaingpeQ1JQgOI","pdf",372514,18,"English","# UML Basics\n## Goals of UML\n## Object-Oriented Concepts\n# OO Analysis and Design\n## Steps in OO Development\n# UML Diagram Types\n## Structural Diagrams\n## Behavior Diagrams\n# Class Diagram\n## Purpose and Elements\n## How to Draw a Class Diagram\n# Relationships in OO\n## Association\n## Inheritance\n## Aggregation\n# Where to Use Class Diagrams\n# Object Diagrams","[{\"question\":\"Is UML a programming language?\",\"answer\":\"No. UML is a visual modeling language, not a programming language.
