Definitions
contravariance
NounIn mathematics and computer science, contravariance refers to a property of a function or a type system where the direction of substitution is reversed, often used in the context of type theory to describe how types can be substituted in a type hierarchy.
In the type system, contravariance allows a function to accept arguments of a more general type than specified.
