Finishing the Static Model - Multiplicity - Representing the Multiplicity of Attributes
6 important questions on Finishing the Static Model - Multiplicity - Representing the Multiplicity of Attributes
How do we read the Multivalued attribute?
When we read the attribute with the multiplicity, we can say, “There are ONE OR MORE authors” or “There is at least one author.”
When there is a lower-bound and an upper-bound for a multiplicity,
it is a requirement that Lower-bound ≤ upper-bound
Why do we use a 0 in this figure?![]()
In the previous figure, we might have assumed that we would use “Anonymous” as the author of a book without authors.
More likely, the display software would automatically know that an empty author name should be displayed/printed as Anonymous.
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Now examine Fig. 10.4.
This figure is equivalent to the previous Fig. 10.3.
What does only the * means?
What could be a other format for : pages : Integer {>1} ?
In Fig. 10.6, we restored the default format of Fig. 10.5.
We also added the constraint on the number of pages as discussed above.
In Chapter 6, Objects and Classes, we showed several alternative forms for indicating the constraint.
Another approach would be
pages :Integer {in 1..*}
Remember that constraints are surrounded by ?
while multiplicity is surrounded by ?
In this constraint, we also use the ? that indicates a UML range.
while multiplicity is surrounded by [].
In this constraint, we also use the “..” that indicates a UML range.
![]()
What can we say about the editor attribute?
This attribute also has the type of Person.
The multiplicity is shown as [0..1], indicating that the field is either there or not.
Some books do not have an editor.
We can say, “The editor attribute is optional” or “The Book MAY have an editor.” “May” is used to indicate that the lower bound is 0.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of Study Smart with Chris, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart With Chris, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with Study Smart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with Study Smart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, Study Smart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to Study Smart with Chris, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
