New methods

[Becker Stephan (extern)]

Redefining means substituting a standard method/attribute with custom code.. ie through delegation you can modify standard behaviour, without actually modifying code.. very neat.. BUT only do that if you know all the implications.. you need to know where the method/attribute is used and see if it still works there..
 
In most cases, adding methods/attributes in subtypes will do, redefining is really only the last resort if you need to change, rather than add, something..

Redefinition is something you do in a subtype.
You subtype an object type, but you redefine a method (possibly also
attributes etc - I have never tried).

This is how I created a new method:
I create a subtype of the object. Then, I can create methods and
attributes.
 
Does anyone know the difference between creating a subtype and
using the "redefine" button?
