 ### Other Examples
 
-Another example that can help one understand variance is `trait Function1[-T, R]` from the Scala standard library. `Function1` represents a function with one argument, where the first type parameter `T` represents the argument type, and the second type parameter `R` represents the return type. A `Function1` is contravariant over its argument type, and covariant over its return type. For this example we'll use the literal notation `A => B` to represent a `Function1[A, B]`.
