Delving into the world of Java, we come across two types of association known as Aggregation and Composition. Both play a vital role in establishing a relationship between two separate classes through their objects. Let's dive deeper and understand the differences between the two.
coursesWhat is Aggregation in Java?
Aggregation is a type of association in Java, it is a connection between two classes that can be defined as a “has-a” relationship.
What is Composition in Java?
Composition is a type of association in Java, it defines a part-of a relationship, and both the entities are connected to each other.
What are the differences between Aggregation and Composition in Java?
Some of the key differences between Aggregation and Composition in Java include the type of association, dependency of objects, behaviour of child objects upon deletion of parent objects, and the way they are defined.
