Member Function Documentation

void update ( ) [virtual]

This method must be implemented in derived classes. An instance of Observer does not call this method directly: instead, it will be called by the observables the instance registered with when they need to notify any changes.

Reimplemented from GenericEngine< DividendVanillaOption::arguments, DividendVanillaOption::results >.
