c. There are four use cases:
■ Purchase gas. Obtain gas from the electronic gas pump and pay for it with cash.
■ Purchase car wash. A customer also decides to purchase a car wash and pays for it
with cash.
■ Pay credit card outside. Instead of cash, pay for the gas and optional car wash with
a credit card that is directly handled by the gas system.
■ Pay credit card inside. Instead of cash, pay for the gas and optional car wash with a
credit card that is manually handled by the cashier.

8.3 Figure A8.3 shows a use case diagram for the online frequent flyer program. Finding a
free flight is the same as finding a paid flight, except seats are limited for free flights
(hence the extend relationship). When submitting a claim for missing credits, a user must
first view their existing credits (hence the include relationship).
8.4 Figure A8.4 shows a use case diagram for the electronic music management software.
We chose to make the CD an actor, because it is an external entity apart from the elec-
tronic music software.
8.5 Figure A8.5 shows a use case diagram for a simple payroll system.
