Class diagrams are the cornerstone of object-oriented design, showing classes with their attributes and methods, plus the relationships between them including inheritance, composition, aggregation, and association. They serve as blueprints for code structure and are essential in software engineering education and professional design reviews. viz42 generates UML-compliant class diagrams from natural language descriptions.
Vehicle class hierarchy: abstract Vehicle with make, model, year, and abstract method startEngine(). Car extends Vehicle with numDoors and implements Drivable interface. ElectricCar extends Car with batteryCapacity and overrides startEngine(). Truck extends Vehicle with payloadCapacity. Drivable interface has accelerate() and brake() methods
Yes. viz42 uses standard UML notation: + for public, - for private, # for protected, and ~ for package-private, based on your description.
Describe the pattern (e.g., 'Observer pattern with Subject and Observer classes') and viz42 will generate the appropriate class structure with correct relationships.
viz42 supports inheritance (extends), implementation (implements), composition, aggregation, association, and dependency relationships in class diagrams.
