Subtype If S is a subtype of T then an expression of type S may be used anywhere that one of type T can and an implicit type conversion will be applied to convert it to type T. In object oriented programming, this means that objects of type S must accept every message that one of type T would. (1997-07-28). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.

Specialty Definition: Subtype and derived type

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In computer science, a subtype states that if given type A is compatible with type B, then A is a subtype of B while not always vice versa. The most important distinction from mere datatype is one datatype can be more than one subtype. The definition is known as Liskov substitution principle.

In object-oriented programming, this means objects of the same subtype respond to the same messages.

A derived type is very similar to subtypes.
