Difference between Composition and Aggregation
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / benjamin jacob
Composition : Defines a strong-coupled relationship between
two entities, where the one entity is part of another, and
both need each other for their existence. e.g. Human body
and the Heart.
Aggregation : Defines a weak-coupled relationship between
two entities, where one entity could be part of another, but
either can exist without the other, independantly. e.g.
School and teacher.

Answer / paul howard
Composition can be used to model by-value aggregation which
is semantically equivalent to an attribute. In fact
composition was originally called aggregation-by-value in an
earlier UML draft with “normal” aggregation being thought of
as aggregation-by-reference. The definitions have changed
slightly but the general ideas still apply. The distinction
between aggregation and composition is more of a design
concept and is not usually relevant during analysis.
