What are the key differences between a superclass and a subtype in a Generalization and Specialization hierarchy?
- Subtypes and superclasses cannot have relationships
- Subtypes inherit attributes from the superclass, but may have additional attributes
- Superclass inherits attributes from subtypes
- Superclass is always a disjoint entity
In a Generalization and Specialization hierarchy, subtypes inherit attributes from the superclass but may have additional attributes specific to their category. This allows for a more detailed representation of data within the model.
