-In Modula-3, subrange types are automatically subtypes of their base type, so if you define a type called <code>MyInt</code> to be the subrange [1..10] then MyInt is a subtype of <code>INTEGER</code>.  If we defined <code>MyChar</code> as the subrange ['A'..'C'] then MyChar would be a subtype of <code>CHAR</code>.

-<code>MyInt</code> can now be used anywhere an <code>INTEGER</code> can, and can use the standard arithmetic functions. Trying to assign a value outside of the range of <code>MyInt</code> will result in a compile time warning, and a runtime error.
