In what ways are subtypes different from subclasses in usage?

Question

A subtype is established when a class is linked by means of extending or implementing. Subtypes are also used for generics.

How can I differentiate subtyping from su

Answer 1

In general, subclassing means to inherit the attributes of a parent. Subtyping merely means that operations on the supertype can be performed on the subtype. Note that subclassing is a special case of subtyping.

in Java, interfaces represent the structure for describing what behaviors a type can exhibit, which makes it the natural representation for subtyping. Subclassing is manifested in the class hierarchy.
