UML Diagrams

[lynnt]

Good morning - I have a question about UML Diagrams.

 

Let's assume that we have a class called Step. One of Step's properties is stepNo.

 

In a UML Class Diagram, we could use the following to indicate the types that stepNo's getter and setter methods are expected to return.

 

+getStepNo:String

+setStepNo:void

 

In a UML Class Diagram, we could use the following to indicate the types that stepNo's getter and setter methods expect to receive as input parameters.

 

+getStepNo()

+setStepNo(stepNo:String)

 

For each method, how would we indicate both? In other words, how do we represent both the parameters a method expects to receive and those it expects to return?

 

Thank you.

I'm not sure if this is something I can personally help with, since I'm not familiar with UML... You can't use a comment to indicate the output though?

 

I would assume you can't do something like this?

 

+getStepNo:String()

+setStepNo:void(stepNo:String)

I think this image representation helps to clear your confusion...

UML is the Unified Modeling Language. UML defines nine types of diagrams: class (package), object, use case, sequence, collaboration, Statechart, activity, component, and deployment.
