Question 1: What is the difference between Aggregation and Association?
Answer:
As compared to association, aggregation implies a tighter coupling between the two objects which are involved in this relationship. Therefore, one way to differentiate between aggregation and association is that if the two objects are tightly coupled, that is, if they cannot exist independently, it is an aggregation, and if they are usually considered as independent, it is an association.(Page 87)
