In my semester exams I got a question: Draw class diagram and association diagram for the online booking of movie tickets. I know how to draw class diagrams so I drew it, but I was confused regarding association diagrams.I took a chance and drew a diagram with my vague understanding.I only drew class boxes and showed associations between them while drawing association diagram,while in class diagram I showed all the relationships like aggregation,composition,inheritance etc.I don't know whether i was right or wrong because when I googled it I found nothing but the examples of class diagrams only. I would appreciate deeply if anyone alleviate my confusion.thank you!
