Description of the four kinds of variance: covariance, contravariance, invariance and bivariance.

Variance

The term variance describes how subtyping between higher kinded types is related to subtyping relations of their type arguments.

Higher Kinded Types

A higher kinded type composes type arguments to a new type. I use square bracket notation to define a higher kinded type:

C[T] // The higher kinded type `C` composes type argument `T` to a new type `C[T]`.

The same works with multiple type arguments:
