Differentiate between Aggregation and containment?..

Answer / arul

Aggregation is the relationship between the whole and a
part. We can add/subtract some properties in the part
(slave) side. It won?t affect the whole part.
Best example is Car, which contains the wheels and some
extra parts. Even though the parts are not there we can
call it as car.
But, in the case of containment the whole part is affected
when the part within that got affected. The human body is
an apt example for this relationship. When the whole body
dies the parts (heart etc) are died.
