direct container type


In Deriscope terminology, a
Deriscope TypeA is called a direct container type of a type B if A is a container type of B and no other type T exists in between.

It follows that then B is a
direct subtype of A

As an example, the following two statements hold:
1) The type
Tradable is a direct container type of the type Bond
2) The type
Tradable is not a direct container type of the type Zero Bond
