UML question

How do I represent an enumeration in UML, specifically using rational Rose?

tia

I believe that it would look something similar to this:

Code:

---

__________________________________________
|              SampleClass                |
|__________________________________________|
|                                          |
| +sampleEnum : SampleEnum = Yes {Yes, No} |
|__________________________________________|
|__________________________________________|

---

The property-list being {Yes, No}.

So that would be equivalent to:

Code:

---

enum SampleEnum
{
  yes,
  no
};

---

would it? And defined as a member of a class? At the moment I have this (see below) but I'm not sure how it fits together in UML (my book uses Java :()

Code:

---

enum SEX
{
  MALE,
  FEMALE
};

class Student
{
public:
  //stuff
private:
  //some data members +
  SEX sex;
};

---

thx for the help, much appreciated :D

Just make sure that you can tell that the data type is enum but listing all the enumerations is a good ideas if they will fit. You could also attach a note icon.

The format is as follows:

<name> : <type> = <default> {<parameter list, ...>}

so...

Code:

---

enum SEX
{
  MALE,
  FEMALE
};

class Student
{
public:
  //stuff
private:
  //some data members +
  SEX sex;
};

---

would look similar to this:

Code:

---

__________________________________
|            Student              |
|__________________________________|
|                                  |
| +sex : SEX = MALE {MALE, FEMALE} |
|__________________________________|
|__________________________________|
