Abstract

So far we have seen examples and case-studies involving relatively simple software systems. This simplicity enabled us to use a fairly general step-by-step approach, viz., specify the requirements, model the behaviour, find the classes, assign responsibilities, capture class interactions, and so on.

Notes

  1. 1.

    GoF, p. 127

  2. 2.

    This is in fact exactly how most curve drawing algorithms are implemented.

  3. 3.

    We leave the circle implementation as an exercise, so we end up having only two fields in our design.

  4. 4.

    The reader is asked to study the documentation on this and other related interfaces and classes.

  5. 5.

    The sequence diagram abstracts out the complexity of the multiple classes associated with the UI into a single class called View.

  6. 6.

    A commonly used scripting language.
