In object-oriented programming, I have learned the concept of subtyping and inheritance.
I thought they're the same thing, in the beginning. But I was told that they're totally different.

So what's there difference? What's there relationship?

Also see https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/10620/how-does-inheritance-differ-from-subtyping

However there is some differences of opinion. See Inheritance Is Subtyping as well as Inheritance Is Not Subtyping
