Class Diagram for the Amazon Locker Service
Learn to create a class diagram for the Amazon Locker system problem using the bottom-up approach.
We’ll create the class diagram for the Amazon Locker service. In the class diagram, we will first design the system’s classes and then identify the relationship between classes according to the Amazon Locker service problem requirements.
Components of an Amazon Locker service
