General

 

A subtype statement declares a type that is based on a previously declared type. The range of values a subtype may take on is usually smaller than the type it is based on. The subtype takes on all the defined operations of the base type since the constraint applies only to the values.

 

The <<First>>, <<Last>> and <<Same>> directives specify that these values are identical to the corresponding value in the base type.
