Hi ,

I am making a UML design for a C++ application and C++ has class name starting with C.
Should my UML design use the same naming convention for defining classes or design & names should be abstract from the implementing language.

So should I have CClassName in UML or just ClassName.

Thanks

Should use CClassName to prevent confusion.

I'm not sure if we can show constructor/destructor. But for me it's too detailed.

You don't need to show all properties, methods in a Class, just important ones. We aren't coding in Class diagram.
