A connection is used to interconnect two [[DiagramElements-Pin|pins]] in an activity diagram. Depending on the type of the pins, the connection models either a data flow- or a control flow-connection. [[DiagramElements-Pin#Input Pin|Input pins]] can only be connected with [[DiagramElements-Pin#Output Pin|output pins]] and the [[Datatype|datatypes]] of the pins must be compatible. That means they either have the same type or the input pin has a "more general" type than the output pin. Inputs with an "Any" datatype are most general and can consume any value. Outputs can be connected to multiple input pins, but each individual connection consists of exactly one input and one output pin. If an output pin has more than one connection, outgoing values are sent to all connected inputs. |

Introduction[Bearbeiten]
A connection is used to interconnect two pins in an activity diagram. Depending on the type of the pins, the connection models either a data flow- or a control flow-connection. Input pins can only be connected with output pins and the datatypes of the pins must be compatible. That means they either have the same type or the input pin has a "more general" type than the output pin (e.g., for numeric types, Number is more general than both Integer or Float. Inputs with an "Any" datatype are most general and can consume any value. Outputs can be connected to multiple input pins, but each individual connection consists of exactly one input and one output pin. If an output pin has more than one connection, outgoing values are sent to all connected inputs.
