/**

 * This class represents an observable object, or "data"

 * in the model-view paradigm. It can be subclassed to represent an

 * object that the application wants to have observed.

 * <p>

 * An observable object can have one or more observers. An observer

 * may be any object that implements interface {@code Observer}. After an

 * observable instance changes, an application calling the

 * {@code Observable}'s {@code notifyObservers} method

 * causes all of its observers to be notified of the change by a call

 * to their {@code update} method.

 * <p>

 * The order in which notifications will be delivered is unspecified.

 * The default implementation provided in the Observable class will

 * notify Observers in the order in which they registered interest, but

 * subclasses may change this order, use no guaranteed order, deliver

 * notifications on separate threads, or may guarantee that their

 * subclass follows this order, as they choose.

 * <p>

 * Note that this notification mechanism has nothing to do with threads

 * and is completely separate from the {@code wait} and {@code notify}

 * mechanism of class {@code Object}.

 * <p>

 * When an observable object is newly created, its set of observers is

 * empty. Two observers are considered the same if and only if the

 * {@code equals} method returns true for them.
