UML sequence diagram - how to represent method arguments that instantiate objects
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
I'm not sure how to represent something like the following in a sequence diagram (in Ruby):
class FirstClass
def process
thing = SecondClass.new('string argument', third_class, 2)
end
def third_class
ThirdClass.new('another string argument',)
end
end
The first message in the sequence is a call to an instance of FirstClass, and the part that's tripping me up is how to represent the ThirdClass.new being passed as an argument to the SecondClass initializer.

Basically you just show how and in which order the objects are instantiated and not where they are assigned:
So first the ThirdClass is created and then SecondClass where you pass a ThirdClass parameter.
I don't know the exact Ruby syntax. So the new is a place holder. Other languages require the class name, Python uses __init__, etc. But the dashed arrow line shows that's it's an object creation.
