I'd like to know how to translate the following line of code to a Collaboration Diagram:
Food food = new Food("abc", 123);
I know that I can call an Food
's method using the following notation:
MyStaticMethod()
----------------------> --------
| |
| Food |
| |
--------
being that equivalent to
Taste taste = Food.MyStaticMethod();
and
MyInstanceMethod()
----------------------> ---------------
| |
| food : Food |
| |
---------------
is equivalent to
food.MyInstanceMethod();
but how do I signal that I want to call a given constructor on Food?
Thanks
When wanting to call a static method, generally we denote the class by
<<metaclass>>
. So, as answer for the first shown diagram, to call a static method called MyStaticMethod on Food, we'd do:Also, people generally denote the constructor method by
create()
.
