    Default Confusion in creating class with OOPS concept

    I am developing a sample application for learning Oops concepts and have a following scenario which has entities: Task, Reminder.

    A Task simply stores the description, status, title etc for it and it is possible to create a reminder for the task i.e. A task may/may not have a reminder set for it (Association would essentially be: 1 task can have 0..1 reminder). Required possible attributes/methods are:

    Task <Class>
    Attributes
    -- id
    -- title
    -- status
    -- Description
    -- Reminder (object of reminder class) => Not sure whether there will be a Reminder object here?

    Methods
    -- setReminder() => Not sure whether its the responsibilty of the Task class to set a reminder?

    Reminder <Class>
    Attributes
    -- id
    -- ReminderDate
    -- ReminderTime
    -- Task (object of task class) => Not sure whether there will be a Task object here as well?

    From Object-Oriented point of view, I am not sure whether the above class description is correct or not. Kindly Suggest.

    Thanks n Regards

    Hello grbsmj,

    This looks good to me. Have you started to write your code?

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply but I haven't started to code as of yet as I am still trying to clear my concepts.

    I am not sure whether a bi-directional association is required in the above task - reminder relationship?

    Regards

    How many tasks are there going to be? How are you planning to store these?
