Open Closed All
  • Key: UML25-326
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17908
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    The return result of the Operation may be expressed as a return parameter, or as the type of the Operation. For example:

    toString(return : String)

    means the same thing as

    toString() : String

    Why is this true. The 1st example, could be interpreted as an operation with a parameter named “return”.
