Conformance

Conformance is bound to specific rules, which are explained in more detail below.

The term “conformance” is used in two contexts:

1. Conformance between interfaces that are either defined explicitly with the Interface language element or given implicitly via the interface of the factory or object section of a class definition.
   As an extension to the above context, it is also possible to speak of a “conformance of classes” if their factory and object interfaces conform to one another.

2. Conformance between the current parameters and the formal parameters of a call to a subprogram or method.
