Constants In A Uml Diagram
9.12. static Data And Functions Object-oriented programs allocate memory for member variables inside objects, binding the variables to those objects. So, in a sense, the variables "belong" to the object (and Java calls them instance variables ). Programmers access member variables through the bound object with one of the selection operators, either dot or arrow. However, there are situations where programmers may wish to store information associated with an entire class rather than individual objects, or create symbolic constants with class scope. C++ and Java implement class variables with the static keyword. Both languages preserve encapsulation by accessing class variables with static functions (or methods). static And UML Diagrams Non-static class features (attributes or operations) belong to individual instances of the class (i.e., to an object). In a C++ program, these
