curprev 12:4612:46, 22 June 2024 212.92.201.134 talk 54,091 bytes −40 I was deleting Scala from the table "The following table summarizes the rules for overriding methods in the languages discussed above." As far as I know, Scala non-generic (concrete) parameters have no contravariance, and no covariance either (except return type). Scala supports contravariance (and covariance) with generic parameters (in generic classes and generic methods) and with abstract types (for example: type T <: A). undo
