* <span id='Covariance'></span> '''Covariance''' Let T and S be two types (class or function types), such that S is a subtype of T. If method m of T is overridden in S, then the corresponding types from the m's signature can either preserve the relationship between T and S (the type used in S is a subtype of the corresponding type in T), reverse the relationship (the type used in S is a super type of the type used in T), or neither preserve nor reverse this relationship. If they preserve the relationship to T and S, we say they are covariant, if they reverse the relationship of T and S, we say they are contravariant.
