Uml Inheritance Diagram. In software engineering a class diagram in the unified modeling language uml is a type of static structure diagram that describes the structure of a system by showing the system s classes their attributes operations or methods and the relationships among objects. The uml diagram s generalization association is also known as inheritance.
Unified modeling language uml is a standard way to draw software models sketch out designs or document existing designs and systems. In software engineering a class diagram in the unified modeling language uml is a type of static structure diagram that describes the structure of a system by showing the system s classes their attributes operations or methods and the relationships among objects. Uml diagram showing inheritance from an abstract class and two sub classes that inherit shared properties from the super class.
The class diagram is the main building block of object oriented modeling.
When we implement generalization in a programming language it is often called inheritance instead. Inheritance is shown as an open arrow between the diagrams. The terminology just differs depending on the context where it is being used.
