In aggregation, the object may only contain a reference or pointer to the object (and not have lifetime responsibility for it). Sometimes aggregation is referred to as composition when the distinction between ordinary composition and aggregation is unimportant. The above code would transform into the following UML Class diagram:
Composition over inheritance (or composite reuse principle) in object-oriented programming (OOP) is the principle that classes should favor polymorphic behavior and code reuse by their composition (by containing instances of other classes that implement the desired functionality) over inheritance from a base or parent class. [2]
UML class diagram Misuses of composition and aggregation. In object-oriented programming this relationship can be represented with a Unified Modeling Language Class diagram. This has-a relationship is also known as composition. As you can see from the Class Diagram on the right a car "has-a" carburetor, or a car is
The diagram on top shows Composition between two classes: A Car has exactly one Carburetor, and a Carburetor is a part of one Car. Carburetors cannot exist as separate parts, detached from a specific car. The diagram on bottom shows Aggregation between two classes: A Pond has zero or more Ducks, and a Duck has at most one Pond (at a time).

Examples of predefined UML stereotypes are Actor, Exception, Powertype and Utility. Structure diagram; Superstate - construct allowing several States which share common Transitions and Internal Activities; Swim lane - synonym for Partition; System model - The logical UML model being represented through one or more UML diagrams
Many widely used languages, such as C++, Java, and Python, provide object-oriented features. Although in the past object-oriented programming was widely accepted, [ 51 ] more recently essays criticizing object-oriented programming and recommending the avoidance of these features (generally in favor of functional programming ) have been very ...
In Figure 9 an aggregation relationship between OPEN CONCEPT and STANDARD CONCEPT is illustrated. An OPEN CONCEPT consists of one or more STANDARD CONCEPTS and a STANDARD CONCEPT is part of zero or more OPEN CONCEPT. In Figure 10 aggregation is exemplified by a fragment of the requirements capture workflow in UML-Based Web Engineering.
