Generalization (parent-child relationship)
Association (student enrolls in course)

Relationship  Associations can be further classified


s as
Aggregation
Composition
 A generalization is a relationship between a parent
class (superclass) and a child class (subclass). In
this relationship, the child class inherits properties
and behaviors from a parent class.

 Associations can be further classified

Aggregation
Composition
 Aggregation is a type of association that
represents a whole-part relationship between two
classes, where one class is the owner of another
class, but the contained class can exist
independently of the owning class.
Aggregation
 The composition is a strong type of association,
where one class is made up of one or more
instances of other classes. It portrays the
Composition dependency relationship, where the lifetime of the
contained class is dependent on the owning class.
