....employee is a subtype of both student and employee (and also person, since the subtype relation is transitive) In this example, the subtype objects have more state than those of the supertype as well as more methods. Another example from the database literature concerns different kinds of ships [Hammer and McLeod 1981]. The supertype is generic ships with methods to determine such things as who is the captain and where the ship is registered. Subtypes contain more specialized ships such as tankers and freighters. There can be quite an elaborate hierarchy (e.g. tankers are a special kind of freighter) Windows ....
