Explanation

A UML class box has three sections: (1) Top section — the class name; (2) Middle section — the class attributes (characteristics, e.g., Doctors, Date, Time, Clinic, Reason); (3) Bottom section — the operations or methods (e.g., New(), Prescribe(), RecordNotes()). In object-oriented languages like Java, operations are called methods.
