JAVA UML and Why Its Important

The Java UML or Unified Modeling Language allows us to visualize class structure and field data types. Examples of common formatting are (+) for public and (-) for private vars.

• setAge(newAge: int): void ---> public void setAge(int newAge)

• calculatorTax(): double ---> private double calculatorTax()

• getName(): String ---> public String getName()

• count: int ---> public static int

• getCount(): int ---> public static int getCount()

These are more examples but this is the essential JAVA UML notation.
