UML association understanding problem

Question

I\'ve been using UML for a while and I\'ve read few articles, books, forums about it but I still don\'t REALLY understand when two classes should be connected with association l

Answer 1

I typically use two different connectors in UML:

1. When a class is dependent on the implementation of another. This would imply that a class is creating or handling an instance of another. So the calling class is dependent on the implementation class. This would be evident in all of your examples.

2. When a class extends or implements another.
