The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

class diagram

Asked by akpp in Theory, Software/Systems Design, New to Java Programming

Tags: class, diagram

I am drawing a class diagram of a rational number calculator program that I've created and I have a question about the relationship between some of the classes - the program has been completed so the class diagram has to reflect the finished version, (even though you may not agree with the design I have a question about the UML notation I should use)
the question is:
if the top level class (e.g. I named it Calculator) has an instance of a Stacks class (a class written that uses a Stack interface and the pop, peek methods are written to push nodes (an inner private class in the Stacks class ) and and then this stack instance (which was instantiated in Calculator class )  is placed as an input parameter to another class's method for e.g. an object of CalcIOConsole class is in the Calculator class and invokes a method to display the stack, is there an association between the CalcIOConsole class and the Stacks class (i.e should a line be drawn between these two classes, or only from the Calculator class to the Stacks class?)
At the moment I have a weak aggregration from the Calculator class to the StacksInterface class. (the Stacks class created implements the StacksInt interface and the object is instantiated as a StackInt object with new Stacks<Rational>();
the rational class is instantiated in the Calculator class as well,  (the numbers are stored as Rational objects from a Rational class which has a nominator/demoniator).  if a rational object is instantiated or returned by a method in the CalcIOConsole class  does it have a direct association with the rational class?
At the moment I have  :
CalcIOConsole--------->>CalcIOInterface<-----------------Calulator_______>Rational

>> means implements
<----- means depends on
______> means association
