用于面向对象编程的Association和Aggregation和Composition三个概念之间的区别外教英文版.doc

Exercise # 4: Explain the difference between three concepts used in Object Oriented Programming. ??Association ??Aggregation ??Composition First look at association. Below is a typical assoication class diagram.   Association is the representation of the solid line with arrows, there are two key, navigability and multiplicity, navigability is the arrow, refers to the other class, said shall be responsible for the maintenance of association relationship, in this class of data member is refers to the class have the reference (pointer), multiplicity is the upper number, from his class is far away, says the other class and the relationship between the class, such as above, a School can have more than one Student, and a Student can only have a School, and a Student can choose 1 to 6 rats a Course can be 1 to multiple Student choose. Association common problem is, exactly how the arrow to refer to? Generally speaking, if a couple more relations, is by a point to many, because the church a class would have an array or vector store multiple objects, but this is not absolute, can only say that usually so, if the Student is a pair of Course, and Course of Student is also a pair of, but he chose the Course is responsible for association relationship, so fully see design need, in practice, Suggestions such as UML for Java Programmer Chinese p. 3-15 that, plus stereotype, detailed narration is belong to which a association, in the future Ill introduce the negativity. If C++ says,association Code as follows 1class A {2 private:3 B* itsB;4};  Again to see aggregation  The representation of aggregation by empty diamond and arrows in the graphical representation (chosen this picture is more old UML format, so there is no arrows), empty diamond said whole, arrow part said. If English says, is the relationship between has a, is a more typical of the above representations. If C++ says,association Code as follows 1class Node {2 private:
