Java Aggregation

Java Aggregation

Aggregation can be said as a relation between two classes that is best described as a has-a and whole/part relationship. It is a more specialized version of the association relationship. Now, what is association? In Java, when you think of a class having that has a member of the different type, then there an association can be formed. In a Java class, where there lies an entity reference, it becomes an aggression. Let us take a situation, Student object contains many information such as roll, name, email_add etc. It contains one more object named rank, which contains its own information such as subj_Name, marks, board_name, exam-type etc. as given below.
class Student{
int roll;
String name;
Rank ranking;
}
In this case, Student has an entity reference ranking, so the relationship is Student HAS-A ranking Aggregation is also used for code reusability. An aggregation is a form of association where the relation of Association can be considered the containing class ‘owning’ the contained class. The lifetime of that relationship cannot be defined. ‘Owning’ can be determined as a single-direction Association.

Why Programmers use Aggression in Java?

As told earlier, for code reusability. Let us consider a case where we have used two classes, student class, and another id class along with staffs and teacher; in order to maintain Student id, teachers’ id, and staff id, programmers do not need to use the same code again and again. Just use the reference of id class while defining each of these classes. This can be written as:
Student Has-A id (Has-a relationship between student and id)
Staff Has-A id (Has-a relationship between staff and id)
teachers Has-A id (Has-a relationship between teachers and id)

C++ Data Abstraction

C++ Data Abstraction Object oriented programming offers various features to write programs with various concepts that help to minimize problems and increase flexibility in program. One of the features of object oriented programming is Data abstraction. In this chapter you will learn about how the concept data abstraction is carried out within the C++ program. What is Data abstraction? Data abstraction allows a program to ignore the details of how a data type is represented. Abstraction (derived from a Latin word  abs , meaning away from and  trahere , meaning to draw) refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. C++ classes use the technique of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes such as width, cost, size etc and functions to operate on these attributes. They put in a nutshell all the essential properties of an object that are required to be created. The attributes are therefore called...
